N2 - The present book is intended as an advanced text for graduate students in materials science and mechanical engineering. The central processes of strengthening that are presented are modelled by dislocation mechanics in detail and the results are compared extensively with the best available experimental information. The form of the coverage is intended to inspire students or professional practitioners in the field to develop their own models of similar or related phenomena and, finally, engage in more advanced computational simulations, guided by the book UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0717/2007018473.html ER -
