AB  - This paper proposes a hybrid finite element formulation of the strain gradient elasticity that provides a natural conceptual framework to properly deal with the interelement compatibility of normal displacement gradients and the equilibrium of non-classical boundary forces. It is based on developments firstly proposed by Mindlin and further elaborated by Aifantis. Consistency is assessed - in the full manuscript version - by means of several generalized patch tests.
