This lecture covers the thermally activated dislocation motion, including the Z-A model and MTS model. It explains the role of activation energy in overcoming barriers, the evolving microstructure under shock loads, and the rate dependency of plastic response. The lecture also discusses physically based constitutive models, lattice rotations, and twinning in materials at high strain rates.
