The book presents a variety of methods for computer simulations of crystal defects in the form of "numerical recipes", complete with computer codes and analysis tools. By working through numerous case studies and problems, this book provides a useful starter kit for further method development in the computational materials sciences.

Technologically important metals and alloys have been strengthened throughout history by a variety of empirical means. The scientific bases of the central mechanisms of such forms of strengthening, developed over the past several decades are presented here in a comprehensive form through mechanistic models and associated experimental results.
