The question of how alloys behave under mechanical or energetic
loading is very important for their use as structural materials in
a whole spectrum of applications, from engines or turbine blades,
right up to such biomaterials as hip replacements.
This comprehensive book covers the current research in ally
physics together with the basic principles necessary. It offers
readers a sound understanding of the structural changes in metals
and alloys, ranging from plastic deformation, deformation dynamics
and ordering kinetics up to atom jump processes, first principle
calculation and simulation techniques. Alongside fundamental
topics, including crystal defects, phase transformations and
statistical thermodynamics, the team of international authors
treats such hot topics as nana-size effects, thin films and
interfaces as well as self-organization, technical applications of
modern alloys, and the opportunities presented by materials
design.
