About the author

Adrian Sutton is a materials scientist and Emeritus Professor in the Department of Physics at Imperial College London. This book is based in part on a postgraduate course he taught for ten years at the Centre for Doctoral Training on Theory and Simulation of Materials, which he established and led at Imperial.

Summary

This book introduces the concepts of elasticity and defects in crystals in the traditional continuum way and also in terms of atomic interactions.

Additional text

It is quite obvious that the majority of the content is material that the author has worked through from scratch, much of it original, and this is especially reflected in the problems, which are detailed and novel.
