Bookmarked that one instantly, thanks big man.

Russ, can we sticky this please?
 
Here is some dislocation Information on metals.

Some sources on metal and mineral crystallography.

Here's a good presentation to download - www.cbu.edu/~bbbeard/429/BBB_Crystals.ppt

and download this - www.oup.co.uk/pdf/0-19-856826-6.pdf[/URL] - which gives Chapter 1 of Fionn Dunne's [QUOTE]Introduction to Computational Plasticity[/QUOTE]
