Foreword
The study of the phenomenon of plastic deformation is a very fertile and
large branch of materials science. Since ancient times, when the first copper
implements were forged, there have been numerous investigations of the
plastic deformation characteristics of macroscopic solids. Mechanical prop
erties, i.e., strength, ductility, toughness, are very important characteristics
of materials. In addition, plastic deformation is a central means by which
millions of tons of materials are shaped into products.
Plastic deformation is clearly a very complex, irreversible process and,
therefore, its understanding has evolved slowly. In the late nineteenth century
it was first noted that plastic deformation occurred in slip or shear bands.
Following this, it was observed in the 1910's that plastic deformation took
place on rational crystallographic planes. The modern era of research on
plastic deformation began in 1934, with the introduction of the dislocation
to account for the low observed levels of stress to achieve permanent
deformation. This important development was followed by proposals of
mechanisms of dislocation motion and models by which dislocations interact
with obstacles. Thereby evolved the relationship between theories of dis
location dynamics and the form of the observed stress-strain curve for a
large variety of crystalline materials.
The chapters in this volume review the great profusion of ideas on plastic
deformation which have been put forward over the years. The overall goal
here has been to analyze the important developments and to place them in
a modern perspective. Plastic deformation of metals, crystalline non-metals
and polymers are covered in the seven chapters of this volume. Attesting
to the continuous activity in this area of research are the more than 1000
references contained herein, which must in truth be considered to be a
modest number.

xii FOREWORD
We have attempted to present a global view of plastic deformation in
solids, and in such a venture certain areas and references will be unavoidably
left out. For this the Editor apologizes.
It is hoped that this volume will contribute to the understanding of this
very active and diverse area of research and will enable the reader to more
readily focus on the pressing current and future problems in plastic deforma
tion—both in the research laboratory and in industrial practice.

Preface
Materials limitations are often the major deterrents to the achievement
of new technological advances. In modern engineering systems, materials
scientists and engineers must continually strive to develop materials which
can withstand extreme conditions of environment and maintain their re
quired properties. In the last decade we have seen the emergence of new
types of materials, literally designed and processed with a specific use in mind.
Many of these materials and the advanced techniques which were developed
to produce them, came directly or indirectly from basic scientific research.
Clearly, the relationship between utility and fundamental materials science
no longer needs justification. This is exemplified in such areas as composite
materials, high-strength alloys, electronic materials, and advanced fabricat
ing and processing techniques. It is this association between the science and
technology of materials on which we intend to focus in this treatise.
The topics to be covered in Treatise on Materials Science and Technology
will include the fundamental properties and characterization of materials,
ranging from simple solids to complex heterophase systems. The Treatise is
aimed at the professional scientist and engineer, as well as at graduate
students in materials science and associated fields.
The Editor would like to express his sincere appreciation to the members of
the Editorial Advisory Board who have given so generously of their time
and advice.
