    About this ebook

    Dislocation Modelling of Physical Systems contains the Proceedings of the International Conference held at Gainesville, Florida, USA on June 22-27, 1980. The book emphasizes the growing interest in relating dislocation theoretic concepts to engineering problems. Topic areas chosen ranged from the fundamental, such as properties of single dislocations, to the more applied, such as fracture. The papers are grouped specifically based on the main topics they discuss. These topics include fracture; point defects and dislocations; structure dependence of mechanical behavior; properties of single dislocations; plasticity and geometry of deformation; internal friction effects; and boundaries.

      Rigidity and elasticity are usually at opposite ends of the continuum. You can have one, but not the other. Now, scientists have taken a step closer to a material that has both. Typically, the more elastic a material, the less able it is to bear load
