While there are some excellent reviews of certain aspects of the subject, there is presently no single comprehensive coverage available of the central mechanisms and their modeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe present book on Strengthening Mechanisms in Crystal Plasticity provides such coverage in a generally transparent and readily understandable form.
