Crystal Plasticity

The book presents a collection of 25 original papers (including one review paper) on state-of-the art achievements in the theory and practice of crystals plasticity. The articles cover a wide scope of research on materials behavior subjected to external loadings starting from atomic-scale simulations and a new methodological aspect to experiments on a structure and mechanical response upon a large-scale processing. Thus a presented contribution of researchers from 18 different countries can be virtually divided into three groups namely (i) modelling and simulation; (ii) methodological aspects; and (iii) experiments on process/structure/properties relationship. Furthermore a large variety of materials are investigated including more conventional (steels copper titanium nickel aluminum and magnesium alloys) and advanced ones (composites or high entropy alloys). The book should be interested for senior students researchers and engineers working within discipline of materials science and solid state physics of crystalline materials.
