Although presenting attractive features in dealing with small-scale size effects, strain
gradient plasticity (SGP) theories can lead to uncommon phenomena for some boundary …

In the context of strain gradient plasticity (SGP), description of higher-order dissipation is the
subject of extensive on-going discussions. In most existing SGP theories including …

In this paper we review developments in higher order strain gradient theories. Several
variants of these theories have been proposed in order to explain the effects of size on …

The enhanced gradient plasticity theories formulate a constitutive framework on the
continuum level that is used to bridge the gap between the micromechanical plasticity and …

In the context of single-crystal strain gradient plasticity, we focus on the simple shear of a
constrained strip in order to study the effects of the material parameters possibly involved in …

Theories to extend plasticity to the micron scale have been in existence for over a decade,
complemented by a growing body of experimental data. Here, materials and mechanics …

A unified thermodynamic framework for gradient plasticity theories in small deformations is
provided, which is able to accommodate (almost) all existing strain gradient plasticity …

This work aims at the formulation of a gradient crystal plasticity model which incorporates
some of the latest developments in continuum dislocation theory and is, at the same time …

We have been developing the theory of mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity (MSG) to
model size-dependent plastic deformation at micron and submicron length scales. The core …

Phenomenological higher-order strain-gradient plasticity is here presented through a
formulation inspired by previous work for strain-gradient crystal plasticity. A physical …
