Publisher's Synopsis
This volume documents the proceedings of the symposium held to honour Professor Johannes Weertman on his 70th birthday. The chapter topics concentrate on research areas in which Professor Weertman has made numerous notable contributions, including high-temperature deformation, fatigue and fracture, plastic deformation of ice and dynamic plasticity.;Coverage includes: high-temperature deformation in ultra-high carbon steels; creep mechanisms in dispersion-strengthened materials; embrittlement of materials; crystal orientations in floating ice sheets; and on the role of dislocations in heavily strained materials.
