Abstract The mathematical modeling of microdevices, in which structure and
microstructure have approximately the same scale of magnitude, as well as of
macrostructures of markedly granular or crystal nature (microcomposites),
demands a nonlocal approach for strains and stresses. The present proposition is
based on a simplified strain gradient theory laid down by Aifantis, which has also
been applied mainly by Beskos and collaborators in the context of the boundary
element method. This paper is an extension of a presentation made during the
ICCES 2014 Conference in Crete, Greece, now relying on machine-precision
evaluation of all singular and hypersingular integrals required in… More >
