This lecture covers the accumulation of energy in materials due to plastic deformation, focusing on the energy associated with stacking fault energies, strain energy, and the increase in internal energy of the metal. It also discusses the estimation of dislocation density, heating effects, and the mobility of grain joints and sub-joints during deformation.
