• Gradient elasticity and size effect for the borehole problem 

      Chen H., Qi C., Efremidis G., Dorogov M., Aifantis E.C. (2018)
      It has been shown recently that robust gradient models of elasticity offer an effective tool to resolve existing difficulties (e.g., elimination of singularities) or predict new experimentally observed phenomena (e.g., ...
    • A second gradient elasto-plastic model for fatigue of small-scale metal components 

      Stamoulis, K.; Giannakopoulos, A. E. (2010)
      Purpose - As the dimensions of structures are scaled down to the micro- and nano-domains, the mechanical behavior becomes size dependent and thus, the classical elasticity solutions cannot be expected to hold. In particular, ...
