Journal ArticleDOI
On the role of gradients in the localization of deformation and fracture
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of higher order strain gradients in the localization of plastic flow, the formation and propagation of deformation bands, and the determination of the structure of the crack tip is given.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of plastic deformation
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified physical picture is extracted from the many complicated processes occuring during plastic deformation, based upon a set of continuously distributed straight edge dislocations, the carriers of plastic deformations, moving along their slip plane, interacting with each other and the lattice, multiplying and annihilating.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gradient elasticity in statics and dynamics: An overview of formulations, length scale identification procedures, finite element implementations and new results
Harm Askes,Elias C. Aifantis +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, various formats of gradient elasticity and their performance in static and dynamic applications are discussed and an overview of length scale identification and quantification procedures is given, together with the variationally consistent boundary conditions.
Book ChapterDOI
Strain gradient interpretation of size effects
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the phenomenon of strength dependence on size, for otherwise geometrically similar specimens, may be interpreted on the basis of gradient elasticity and gradient plasticity arguments.
