Advanced materials for the 21st century : the 1999 Julia R. Weertman Symposuim : proceedings of a symposium sponsored by the ASM/TMS Mechanical Behavior of Materials Committee and the Flow and Fracture Committee of the MPMD division of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), held during the 1999 TMS Fall Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio, October 31-November 4, 1999

This proceedings volume from the 1999 TMS Fall Meeting contains papers presented at a symposia to honor Julia R. Weertman, professor emerita at North-western University's department of materials science and engineering. The book is loosely divided into the five areas in which Dr. Weertman has made major scientific achievements: dislocations and cavitation, high-temperature deformation, physical metallurgy, mechanical metallurgy, and nanocrystalline materials.
