Introduction To Dislocations, Third Edition

Introduction to Dislocations, Third Edition

Provides an essential basis for an understanding of many of the physical and mechanical properties of crystalline solids. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to reflect developments in the understanding of the subject, whilst retaining the clarity and comprehensibility of the original text. Substantial new sections are included, notably in topics relating to experimental techniques, the elastic properties of dislocations, forces on dislocations, dislocations in particular crystal structures, the dislocation content of boundaries, and the strength of crystalline solids.ReviewIndependent opinionsProfessor Hull has written a book which is so carefully constructed and so outstandingly useful to such a wide range of students that it is difficult to find superlatives to praise it.The Faraday SocietyOne of the most striking advantages of the book is the concise and lucid text....There are many books dealing with dislocations but only one up-to-date introduction. It is warmly recommended to teachers and students in solid state sciences.Cryst. Res. Technol., 554
