Mechanics of Dislocation Fields

Accompanying the present trend of engineering systems aimed at size reduction and design at microscopic/nanoscopic length scales, Mechanics of Dislocation Fields describes the self-organization of dislocation ensembles at small length scales and its consequences on the overall mechanical behavior of crystalline bodies. The account of the fundamental interactions between the dislocations and other microscopic crystal defects is based on the use of smooth field quantities and powerful tools from the mathematical theory of partial differential equations. The resulting theory is able to describe the emergence of dislocation microstructures and their evolution along complex loading paths. Scale transitions are performed between the properties of the dislocation ensembles and the mechanical behavior of the body. Several variants of this overall scheme are examined which focus on dislocation cores, electromechanical interactions of dislocations with electric charges in dielectric materials, the intermittency and scale-invariance of dislocation activity, grain-to-grain interactions in polycrystals, size effects on mechanical behavior and path dependence of strain hardening.

Les glaciers à l'épreuve du climat

Les glaciers de montagne ont connu ces dernières années un mouvement de repli marqué et rapide, qui fait craindre la disparition d'une partie d'entre eux d'ici quelques décennies. Cette évolution aura un impact sur la ressource en eau et sera à l'origine de risques naturels accrus. Ainsi, les glaciers font actuellement l'objet de nombreux travaux scientifiques, d'autant qu'ils sont parmi les meilleurs indicateurs pour évaluer les changements climatiques. Leur observation et la reconstitution de leurs fluctuations s'inscrivent au coeur des grands programmes de recherche sur le réchauffement de la planète. Offrir à un large public le bilan de ces recherches à travers un panorama com...

Principles of Rock Deformation and Tectonics

The book is an up-to-date and augmented version that keeps the concise and rigorous writing of its inspiring French language predecessors. It is based on laboratory and field experience of both authors, with a focus towards hard rocks and magmatic rocks from both the continental crust worldwide and the mantle, principally from the Oman ophiolites.--

Under Prairie Skies

Writer and anthropologist C. Thomas Shay traces the key roles of plants since humans arrived in the northern plains at the end of the Ice Age and began to hunt the region’s woodlands, fish its waters, and gather its flora.
