Abstract We call nonlinear dilatational strain gradient elasticity the theory in which specific class of second continua is considered: those whose deformation energy depends, an objective way, on placement and determinant placement. It interesting particular case complete Toupin–Mindlin elasticity: indeed, it, only effects are due to inhomogeneous dilatation state considered deformable body. T...

This  paper  presents  an attempt  to use Agnew’s General Strain Theory ( GST) (1992) for explanation of the  criminal behavior  differences between  young males and females in Babol, a city in northern part of Iran. General Strain Theory (GST) is essentially regarded as a set of ideas formulated to explain the occurrence of crime as a result of the strain in social life. This study explores th...

As an extension to strain-gradient models of size-dependent plastic behaviour, this work proposes a model for stress-gradient theory. The is distinguished from earlier works on the topic by its being embedded in thermodynamically consistent framework. development carried out context single-crystal plasticity, and draws conventional plasticity. explored numerically using example torsion thin wir...
