Creep of Crystals - High Temperature Deformation Processes in Metals, Ceramics Minerals

Zusammenfassung This textbook describes the physics of the plastic deformation of solids at high temperatures. It is directed at geologists or geophysicists interested in the high-temperature behaviour of crystals who wish to become acquainted with the methods of materials science in so far as they are useful to earth scientists.
