Abstract

The paper continues the discussion of continuum theory of dislocations suggested by Berdichevsky and Sedov (PMM 31(6): 981–1000, 1967). The major new points are: the choice of energy, the variational form of the governing dynamical equations, the variational principle for the final plastic state.
