Gradient Elasticity

Gradient Elasticity is a higher-order continuum theory within elasticity that extends classical elasticity by incorporating gradients of strain or stress into the constitutive equations to account for size-dependent material behavior and capture microstructural effects in multiscale structural modeling.
