Description: Properties of crystalline materials are almost always governed by the defects within them. The ability to shape metals and alloys into girders furniture automobiles and medical prostheses stems from the generation motion and interaction of these defects. Crystal defects are also the agents of chemical changes within crystals enabling mass transport by diffusion and changes of phase. The distortion of the crystal created by a defect enables it to interact with other defects over distances much greater than the atomic scale. The theory of elasticity is used to describe these interactions. Physics of Elasticity and Crystal Defects 2nd Edition is an introduction to the theory of elasticity and its application to point defects dislocations grain boundaries inclusions and cracks. A unique feature of the book is the treatment of the relationship between the atomic structures of defects and their elastic fields. Another unique feature is the last chapter which describes five technologically important areas requiring further fundamental research with suggestions for possible Ph D projects. There are exercises for the student to check their understanding as they work through each chapter with detailed solutions. There are problems set at the end of each chapter also with detailed solutions. In this second edition the treatment of the Eshelby inclusion has been expanded into a chapter of its own with complete self - contained derivations of the elastic fields inside and outside the inclusion. This is a textbook for postgraduate students in physics engineering and materials science. Even students and professionals with some knowledge of elasticity and defects will almost certainly find much that is new to them in this book.
