The modeling of the elastic properties of granular or nanoscale systems requires the foundations of the theory of elasticity to be revisited, as one explores scales at which this theory may no longer hold. The only cases for which a…

Strain-gradient theories of plasticity have been successful in modeling the behavior of complex materials. However, the traditional formulation of these theories lacks a material length scale, and is thus incapable of capturing…
