A stochastic effective medium theory is developed that accounts for the geometrically necessary fluctuations of the local stress and strain rate resulting from dynamic dislocation interactions. The concept is applied to the formation of dislocation cells in multiple slip. Starting from a Langevin-type evolution equation for the total dislocation density ϱ, a corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for the probability distribution ps(ϱ) is derived. Cell formation is related to a noise-induced non-equilibrium phase transition associated with a qualitative change of ps(ϱ). The cell size is found to be in inverse proportion to the flow stress (principle of similitude). Critical conditions for, and the role of cross slip in, cell formation are discussed.
