Multiscale Phenomena in Plasticity: From Experiments to Phenomenology, Modelling and Materials Engineering

A profusion of research and results on the mechanical behaviour of crystalline solids has followed the discovery of dislocations in the early thirties. This trend has been enhanced by the development of powerful experimental techniques. particularly X ray diffraction. transmission and scanning elect...
