description: Dislocations are important in determining the mechanical behaviour of materials. This comprehensive textbook discusses dislocations and their mechanical applications. It deals with elementary mechanical aspect of strength, mechanisms of creep, fatigue and fracture, motion of waves with special reference to high-speed motion of dislocation and cracks in solids and finally the principles of materials selections. The text is supported with a large number of solved examples. The book is primarily designed for undergraduate and graduate students of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering/Mechanical Engineering
