Materials Science and Technology A Comprehensive Treatment Edited by R.W. Cahn, P. Haasen, E.J. Kramer The 18–volume series ‘Materials Science and Technology’ is the first in–depth, topic–oriented reference work devoted to this growing interdisciplinary field. A compendium of current, state–of–the–art information, it covers the most important classes of materials: metals, ceramics, glasses, polymers, semiconductors, and composites, from the fundamentals of perfect semiconductors via the physics of defects to "artificial" and amorphous semiconductors. Edited by internationally renowned figures in materials science, this series is sure to establish itself as a seminal work. Volume 6: This volume focuses on the mechanisms of plastic deformation and fatigue affecting the properties and performance of a wide variety of materials. Topics included are: flow stress and work hardening dislocation patterning solid solution strengthening particle strengthening superplasticity inelastic deformation cyclic deformation fracture mechanisms friction and wear high–temperature deformation and creep deformation and textures of metals at large strains
