Discrete structures in continuum descriptions of defective crystals

I discuss various mathematical constructions that combine together to provide a natural setting for discrete and continuum geometric models of defective crystals. In particular I provide a quite general list of `plastic strain variables', which quantifies inelastic behaviour, and exhibit rigoro...
