General Lattice Model of Gradient Elasticity

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

New lattice model for the gradient elasticity is suggested. This lattice model gives a microstructural basis for second-order strain-gradient elasticity of continuum that is described by the linear elastic constitutive relation with the negative sign in front of the gradient. Moreover the suggested lattice model allows us to have a unified description of gradient models with positive and negative signs of the strain gradient terms. Possible generalizations of this model for the high-order gradient elasticity and three-dimensional case are also suggested.
