A review is provided and a systematization is proposed for the principal directions of modeling of plastic deformation of crystalline materials and attendant phenomena within the framework of the concept of hardening and recovery. It is suggested that the formulation of the concept of hardening and recovery directly links phenomena taking place in the deformed crystalline material with the defect behavior of the crystal structure. This work considers only mathematical models that assume the formation of defects in the process of deformation. In order to investigate the phenomena observed in the process of deformation, use is made of physical quantities characterizing the defects, such as dislocation density, misorientation boundaries, discontinuities, concentration of point defects, etc. Great attention is given to works of the Tomsk School of Materials Science, which investigate the formation of deformation substructures in a consistent and systematic way.
