A Brief Note on the Nix–Gao Strain Gradient Plasticity Theory

The mathematical nature of the flow rule for the strain gradient plasticity theory proposed by Nix and Gao (W.D. Nix and H. Gao, J Mech Phys Solids 46(3), 411(1998)) is discussed based on the paradigm developed by Gurtin and Anand (M.E. Gurtin and L. Anand, J Mech Phys Solids 57 (3), 405 (2009)). It...
