Abstract
We review in these notes the dynamics of extended condensed matter systems, such as vortex lattices in type-II superconductors and charge density waves in anisotropic metals, driven over quenched disorder. We focus in particular on the case of strong disorder, where topological defects are generated in the driven lattice. In this case the response is plastic and the depinning transition may become discontinuous and hysteretic.

Equation (11) should include a convective derivative that arises from the transformation to the laboratory frame [29]. This is negligible near a continuous depinning transition where the mean velocity is very small and it drops out in the mean field limit considered here. It will therefore be neglected, although it does play a crucial role on the dynamics well into the sliding state [29].
