Abstract: The goal of this paper is the analytical validation of a model of
Cermelli and Gurtin [12] for an evolution law for systems of screw dislocations
under the assumption of antiplane shear. The motion of the dislocations is
restricted to a discrete set of glide directions, which are properties of the
material. The evolution law is given by a "maximal dissipation criterion",
leading to a system of differential inclusions. Short time existence,
uniqueness, cross-slip, and fine cross-slip of solutions are proved.
