Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the general processes underlying the deformation, recovery and recrystallisation of crystalline materials. The general principles have been summarised for structural geologists in leading text-books.9,15 After a discussion of brittle vs ductile deformation, I will deal with general aspects of crystal plasticity, followed by a discussion of dislocations (line defects) in crystals and their effect on deformation, recovery and recrystallisation.
