Dislocation Dynamics During Plastic Deformation Along with numerous illustrative examples this text provides an overview of the dynamic behavior of dislocations and its relation to plastic deformation. It introduces the general properties of dislocations and treats the dislocation dynamics in some detail. The book gives an overview of the dynamic behavior of dislocations and its relation to plastic deformation. It introduces the general properties of dislocations and treats the dislocation dynamics in some detail. Finally examples are described of the processes in different classes of materials i.e. semiconductors ceramics metals intermetallic materials and quasicrystals. The processes are illustrated by many electron micrographs of dislocations under stress and by video clips taken during in situ straining experiments in a high voltage electron microscope showing moving dislocations. Thus the users of the book also obtain an immediate impression and understanding of dislocation dynamics. TOC:1. Introduction. 2. Experimental methods. 3. Properties of dislocations. 4.
