Dislocations Theory
- Description of dislocation: Discovery of the dislocation; Description of the dislocation line; Prismatic dislocation loop; Motion of dislocations; Bergers vector of a dislocation
- The stress field around a dislocation: Linear elasticity theory; Equilibrium Equations; Stress and displacement field of a dislocation (stationary screw edge mixed) and Uniformly moving dislocations
- ;Self energy of a dislocation line; Strain energy of screw edge and mixed dislocations; Energy of a curved dislocation line; Line Tension
- (Force on dislocations; Force due to externally applied stress (The Peach-Koehler equation
- Force between dislocations: Parallel screw dislocations; Parallel edge dislocations with parallel burgers vectors; Parallel edge dislocations with parallel burgers vectors
- Classification of point defects; equilibrium concentration of vacancies; chemical force on a dislocation
- Dislocation reactions in crystals: Burgers vectors of dislocations joined at a node; Face centered cubic crystals, The Frank sessile dislocation; The Shockley partial dislocation; The Cottrell-Lomer lock;
- Dislocation multiplication; Dislocation Pile-up; Dislocation intersections
- Work hardening: Taylors theory; Motts theory;
