Provides an essential basis for an understanding of many of the physical and mechanical properties of crystalline solids. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to reflect developments in the understanding of the subject, whilst retaining the clarity and comprehensibility of the original text. Substantial new sections are included, notably in topics relating to experimental techniques, the elastic properties of dislocations, forces on dislocations, dislocations in particular crystal structures, the dislocation content of boundaries, and the strength of crystalline solids.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Independent opinions
Professor Hull has written a book which is so carefully constructed and so outstandingly useful to such a wide range of students that it is difficult to find superlatives to praise it.
The Faraday Society
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.

From the Publisher
A wider range of materials has emerged since 1965, most notably in the field of electronics and micro-engineering. The principles of dislocation theory still apply but some of the detail requires further treatment.This fourth edition provides an essential basis for an understanding of many of the physical and mechanical properties of crystalline solids. This new edition has been extensively revised and updated to reflect developments in the understanding of the subject, whilst retaining the clarity and comprehensibility of the previous editions.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good elementary representations of dislocation theory.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Dislocations, Third Edition (Materials Science & Technology) (Paperback)
Much better and easier to understand than the many other classical dislocation theory books. It is also very comprehensive, although a little outdated due to its publication date.

Clear, concise, and well-written,
By Steven (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Dislocations, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This is an excellent introductory text on dislocation theory. The author does a good job of outlining fundamental materials principles before jumping into defects. The diagrams and images used are top-notch -- if only one could capture such good examples in practice! The latter half of the text covers some information on other types of defects (tilt boundaries, stacking faults) as well as numerous characterization techniques. Recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent introduction to dislocations,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Dislocations, Fifth Edition (Paperback)
I bought this book to learn more about the subject of dislocations. I've never taken any course in dislocaitons, but i found this book (at least the first four chapters) relatively simple to read and understand. This book provides a good entry-level introduction to dislocations. It is recommended as a first read if you do not have previous background in dislocations.
