Description
The effective utilization of energy, raw materials, metals and manpower in a dynamically developing society calls for the development of materials of unconventional properties and for high endurance and reliability in operation. The responses of various materials to unidirectional or repeated mechanical stress has already been examined, estimated, classified and quantified for more than two centuries. In spite of this, it is not possible at present to generalize the sophisticated processes occurring in the microplasticity and failure of materials. However, it is possible to offer a more or less compact physico-metallurgical interpretation of such limiting states as plastic flow and material failure. The better utilization of latent properties requires thorough knowledge of the physical essence of the critical processes occurring in materials under mechanical loading. This book makes use of the accumulated knowledge of elementary processes in microplasticity and failure, complemented by the latest knowledge from the world literature and by the results the author and his collaborators have obtained. No publication to date provides such data in one volume.
