We report a continuum theory for 2D strain gradient materials accounting for a class of dissipation phenomena. The continuum description is constructed by means of a (reversible) placement function and by (irreversible) damage and plastic functions ...

A theory of strain-gradient plasticity with effect of internal microforce [PDF]
This paper develops a theory of strain gradient plasticity for isotropic bodies undergoing small deformation in the absence of plastic spin. The proposed theory is based on a system of microstresses which include a microstress vector consistent with ...

Extraordinary strain hardening by gradient structure [PDF]
Significance Nature creates the gradient structure (GS) for a purpose: to make biological systems strong and tough to survive severe natural forces. For the grain-size GS, the deformation physics is still unclear. One wonders if the grain-size GS in the nanomicroscale would also benefit materials engineered by mankind.

Strain gradient effects on concrete stress–strain curve [PDF]
The stress–strain characteristic of concrete developed in flexure is one of the essential parameters for the ultimate flexural strength design of reinforced concrete (RC) members. Currently, the stress–strain curve of concrete developed in flexure is obtained by scaling down the uniaxial stress–strain curve.

Possibilities of the practical use of a stationary strain gradient in the interelectrode volume of unpolarized ferroceramic plates [PDF]
It has been established that in plates made of hot-pressed ferroelectric ceramics PZT-19 (Tc=300∘C), after metal electrodes from Ag are burned into opposite surfaces with different depths of mechanical damage, counter-directional stationary deformation ...

Flexoelectric materials and their related applications: A focused review
Flexoelectricity refers to the mechanical-electro coupling between strain gradient and electric polarization, and conversely, the electro-mechanical coupling between electric field gradient and mechanical stress. This unique effect shows a promising size
