Elastic Deformation of Metals (Atomic Approach) | Metallurgy
In this article we will discuss about the atomic approach to elastic deformation of metals. At absolute zero, the two neighbouring atoms in a metal are in stable equilibrium state when the distance between them is r0. Fig. 6.11 illustrates this schematically. At large distance of separation between two atoms, the main force is of attractive nature, FA (negative). When [...]
