Synopsis

Many man-made materials and naturally occurring substances are aggregates of crystals, or polycrystals, with a non-random distribution of orientations. In such textured polycrystals, many macroscopic physical properties are anisotropic, i.e. they depend on direction. This book is about the measurement and analysis of textures, the prediction of polycrystal properties from measured textures and known single crystal properties, and the prediction of the development of texture and the ensuing anisotropic properties during elastic and plastic deformation. It also gives an overview of observed textures in metals, ceramics and rocks. There is a balance between theoretical concepts and experimental techniques. The book addresses several issues. Part I provides tools and describes methods to obtain quantitative data on textures of polycrystals. It should be of interest to experimentalists. Part II emphasizes modeling of deformation and incorporates theoretical concepts of mechanics. Part III illustrates successful applications in engineering and earth sciences.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

' ... an instant classic. For anyone venturing onto this ... field, Kocks & Co. will be the essential way in. It can also serve as something of a primer for budding modellers and simulators. The book is beautifully produced to the highest CUP standards, with fine mathematical typesetting and beautifully clear figures.' R. W. Cahn, FRS, Contemporary Physics

'For all serious students of the structure and mechanical deformation of polycrystalline materials in the fields of materials engineering and physical geology, Texture and Anisotropy will be essential reading.' Roger Doherty, MRS Bulletin

'An up to date and detailed appraisal of the subject of texture and preferred orientation in polycrystalline materials and the associated directionality of properties has been long awaited, and this book, by leading researchers in the field, superby fulfils this requirement and serves as a key reference work ... The information contained in this comprehensive text provides a firm foundation for both experimentation and quantitative analysis in this area.' Materials Science and Technology

'... the book contains a great deal of profound information and explanations, which makes it useful for both students and scientists.' Albrecht Bertram, Zentralblatt Math
