We review the states of stress and strain and their relationships in elastic, plastic and viscous materials. Dislocation and elasto-plastic concepts are introduced to explain work hardening, various material strengthening mechanisms, ductility and toughness. Macroscopic and microscopic features of the solid are related to analyze deformation and fracture, with an emphasis on fatigue, creep and fracture prevention.
