Abstract
In this chapter an introduction to crystal plasticity theory is presented. The chapter includes brief reviews of continuum mechanics and the finite element method, necessary for the understanding of the theory. The theory itself is presented in detail and its implementation in the finite element method for solving problems is outlined. The chapter closes with a review of some case study applications.
