This lecture covers the deformation and rupture of materials, focusing on the density of geometrically necessary dislocations, plastic deformation of polycrystalline metals, and the grain size dependence. It also discusses the stress exerted on obstacles by dislocations, the evolution of load surfaces, and the behavior of materials under cyclic conditions.
