Dislocation Theory for Engineers PDF

Introduction

Our application of elementary dislocation theory to the behaviour of crystalline materials will be made systematically, as follows:

1. Pure materials, and the effect of lattice defects upon the behaviour of dislocations, considering in turn point defects (vacancies), line defects (i.e. other dislocations) and planar defects (grain boundaries).

2. Solid solutions, considering the effects of the segregation of solutes to dislocations, and also the interaction of moving dislocations with dispersed solute atoms.

3. Two-phase materials, considering the interaction of dislocations with secondphase particles.

4. Elevated temperature effects, including recovery and recrystallization, as well as dislocation creep.

5. Fracture processes including ductile fracture processes, the effect of dislocations at crack tips upon the ductile-brittle transition behaviour, as well as fatigue fracture properties.
