The Green tensor of Mindlin's anisotropic first strain gradient elasticity
We derive the Green tensor of Mindlin's anisotropic first strain gradient elasticity. The Green tensor is valid for arbitrary anisotropic materials, with up to 21 elastic constants and 171 gradient elastic constants in the general case of triclinic media.

A reformulation of strain gradient plasticity [PDF]
A class of phenomenological strain gradient plasticity theories is formulated to accommodate more than one material length parameter. The objective is a generalization of the classical J2 3ow theory of plasticity to account for strain gradient e4ects that emerge in deformation phenomena at the micron scale.

A rate-independent model for geomaterials under compression coupling strain gradient plasticity and damage [PDF]
We study a strain gradient-enhanced version of a model for geomaterials under compression by Marigo and Kazymyrenko (2019) coupling damage and small-strain associative plasticity. We prove that the jumps in time of the plastic variable may happen only along jumps of the damage variable.

On Dislocations in a Special Class of Generalized Elasticity
In this paper we consider and compare special classes of static theories of gradient elasticity, nonlocal elasticity, gradient micropolar elasticity and nonlocal micropolar elasticity with only one gradient coefficient.

Infeasibility of the nonlocal strain gradient theory for applied Physics [PDF]
In this communication, the feasibility of the nonlocal strain gradient theory for fields of applied mechanics is investigated. It is demonstrated that the nonlocal strain gradient theory is physically incorrect. It is proved that each of the nonlocal theory and the strain gradient theory can model, both, hardening and softening behaviors of materials ...

Small compressive strain induced semiconductor-metal transition and tensile strain enhanced thermoelectric properties in monolayer $\mathrm{PtTe_2}$ [PDF]
Biaxial strain effects on electronic structures and thermoelectric properties of monolayer $\mathrm{PtTe_2}$ are investigated by using generalized gradient approximation (GGA) plus spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for the electron part and GGA for the phonon part.

Matrix representations for 3D strain-gradient elasticity [PDF]
The theory of first strain gradient elasticity (SGE) is widely used to model size and non-local effects observed in materials and structures. For a material whose microstructure is centrosymmetric, SGE is characterized by a sixth-order elastic tensor in addition to the classical fourth-order elastic tensor.

An observation on the experimental measurement of dislocation density
The common practice of ignoring the elastic strain gradient in measurements of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) density is critically examined. It is concluded that the practice may result in substantial errors.

Anisotropic and dispersive wave propagation within strain-gradient framework
In this paper anisotropic and dispersive wave propagation within linear strain-gradient elasticity is investigated. This analysis reveals significant features of this extended theory of continuum elasticity. First, and contrarily to classical elasticity,
