Dislocations are defects in the crystal structure of important engineering materials, such as metals, ceramics and semi-conductors. This title provides the essential knowledge base required for further study, research and technological application. It presents the theory, related problems and applications.

Report
"The authors have taken an already exemplary textbook and ensured that it is both up-to-date and manageable. The carefully chosen bibliography sections at the end of every chapter are invaluable. There is no alternative book on dislocation theory that covers the ground of this volume and there does not need to be." --Materials World Magazine, October 2012
"This book fits a very much needed slot as it is written at a level that is much easier to understand than the classic old texts on dislocations...and is, for that reason, ideal for both undergraduates and beginning or interdisciplinary graduate students." --Kevin J. Hemker, Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University
"One of the most striking advantages of the book is the concise and lucid text...There are many books dealing with dislocations but only one up-to-date introduction. It is warmly recommended to teachers and students in solid state sciences" --Crystallization Technology
"As we grow older, we tend to grow fatter but wiser. This is certainly the case of the 4th edition of 'Introduction to Dislocations'...the book is excellent value and there is no excuse why every student of metallurgy should not be familiar with its contents, and every researcher have it readily to hand." --Steel Times
