This second edition updates and expands on the critical, class-tested original text, augmenting discussion of dynamic strain aging and austenitic stainless steels, and adding a section on analysis of nickel-base superalloys that showed how the model can be used to de-convolute synergistic effects. The new edition retains Professor Follansbee's lucid and rigorous presentation of the theory, mechanistic basis, and application of the mechanical threshold stress (MTS) model. Students are introduced to critical competencies such as crystal structure, dislocations, thermodynamics of slip, dislocation-obstacle interactions, deformation kinetics, and hardening through dislocation accumulation. The models described in this volume facilitate readers' understanding of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME), presenting context for the transition between length scales characterizing the mesoscale (mechanistic) and the macroscopic. Presenting readers a model buttressed by detailed examples and applications, Fundamentals of Strength: Principles, Experiment, and Applications of an Internal State Variable Constitutive Formulation, 2nd ed., is ideal for students, practitioners, and materials researchers.
