This book explores the fundamental role of grain boundaries in the plasticity of crystalline materials, providing a multi-scale approach to plasticity to facilitate understanding. It starts with the atomic description of a grain boundary, moves on to the elemental interaction processes between dislocations and grain boundaries, and finally shows how the microscopic phenomena influence the macroscopic behaviors and constitutive laws. Drawing on topics from physical, chemical, and mechanical disciplines, this work also explains properties of deformation at low and high temperature, creep, fatigue, and rupture.Content: Chapter 1 Grain Boundary Structures and Defects (pages 1-46): Chapter 2 Elementary Grain Boundary Deformation Mechanisms (pages 47-107): Chapter 3 Grain Boundaries in Cold Deformation (pages 109-163): Chapter 4 Creep and High Temperature Plasticity (pages 165-215): Chapter 5 Intergranular Fatigue (pages 217-280): Chapter 6 Intergranular Segregation and Crystalline Material Fracture (pages 281-325): Chapter 1 Bicrystallography and Topological Characterization of Interfacial Defects (pages 327-332): Chapter 2 Appendices of Chapter 3 (pages 333-339):
