Theory of Dislocations

Theory of Dislocations, 3rd Edition, provides an in-depth treatment of the nucleation, motion, and interaction of crystalline defects.

The textbook connects foundational dislocation theory to applications in metal and ionic crystals. Coverage addresses the effects of crystal structure, temperature, nucleation mechanisms, and behavior across distinct material systems.

Rather than citing final results, the authors supply step-by-step mathematical developments to support researchers developing modeling and computational approaches to discrete dislocation plasticity. Worked problems and computer programs are included to aid readers in visualizing and applying core concepts.
