The author first uses novel molecular dynamics simulations to parameterise an efficient, stochastic and discrete dislocation model that allows access to experimental time and length scales. Simulated trajectories are in excellent agreement with experiment. The author also applies modern methods of multiscale analysis to extract novel bounds on the transport properties of these many body systems. Despite their successes in coarse graining, existing theories are found unable to explain stochastic defect dynamics. To resolve this, the author defines crystal defects through projection operators, without any recourse to elasticity. By rigorous dimensional reduction, explicit analytical forms are derived for the stochastic forces acting on crystal defects, allowing new quantitative insight into the role of thermal fluctuations in crystal plasticity. 000728176 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed July 16, 2015). 000728176 650_0 $$aDislocations in crystals$$xMathematical models. 000728176 650_0 $$aCrystals$$xDefects$$xMathematical models. 000728176 830_0 $$aSpringer theses. 000728176 852__ $$bebk 000728176 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-20019-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000728176 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:728176$$pGLOBAL_SET 000728176 980__ $$aEBOOK 000728176 980__ $$aBIB 000728176 982__ $$aEbook 000728176 983__ $$aOnline 000728176 994__ $$a92$$bISE
