Review: This book is based on lectures given at the Institute of Material Science of Tampere University of Technology, Finland. Plastic or permanent deformation is one of the most important phenomena, with respect to strength properties, in metals. In most cases, plastic deformation changes a material’s ability to resist further deformation. If the resistance increase, the phenomenon is called strain hardening. The construction design of strain hardening due to plastic deformation, is often what makes constructions hold. There are chapters on: the mechanisms of plastic deformation; dislocation motion; yielding; a theoretical approach to plastic deformation and strain hardening; latent hardening; dispersion hardening; plastic strain; a model of mechanical threshold strength; and a general review of strain hardening.
