Dislocations in real materials are most commonly neither pure edge nor pure screw in their character, but are mixed dislocations whose Burgers vectors lie at an intermediate angle to the local ...
The reduction in diameter that occurs as a sample material is subjected to tensile stresses. Necking, in engineering or materials science, is a mode of tensile deformation where relatively large ...
In the original concept of Volterra, the Burgers' vector of a crystal dislocation is a translation vector of the crystal, that is, a vector that connects atom positions so that the crystal can be ...
Point defects are where an atom is missing or is in an irregular place in the lattice structure. Point defects include self interstitial atoms, interstitial impurity atoms, substitutional atoms and ...
Solid materials have pores in them, sometimes these pores are almost microscopic in size, and sometimes they're very visible. Porosity is a measure of how much air or liquid can be absorbed by ...
Dislocations in which the Burgers vector is perpendicular to the dislocation line. Dislocations in real crystals rarely have a pure edge character. Their Burgers vectors lie at various angles to ...
Segregation in materials refers to the enrichment of a material constituent at a free surface or an internal interface of a material. In a polycrystalline solid, a segregation site can be a ...
