Non-locality can arise from the way we choose to model physical phenomena.Some of the ways the non-locality is modeled are: Cosserat or micropolar continuum, Strain gradient theories and Modified

couple stress theories, Eringen’s integral, differential, and

integro-differential models, and Peridynamics, which is an integral

representation of balance laws accounting for long-range forces.

Nematic elastomer with hard nematicphase of random orientation embedded in

Why rotational gradient dependent elasticity? Presence of very stiff secondary phases giving rise to distinct microscopic length scale. Intuitively, the secondary phase “rotates” with the material but does not stretch with it; interference between neighbors causes it to resist rotational gradients leading to couple stresses.CNT reinforced polymers and nematic elastomers

Engineers and scientists “model” phenomena that occurs in nature.

Continuum mechanics is a means to an end; that is, it provides tools to construct a mathematical model, analyze, and make a decision (towards designing and building).

There is no “complete” or “exact” mathematical model of anything we like to model & analyze.

We can only try to “improve” on what we already know (often, goal-based thinking).

Only two things that matter in engineering: (1) Reliable functionality (or probability of failure) and (2) cost of the product.

Differentiability of field variables is not an inherent attribute; we endowed them so that we can gain some insights without solving complex problems.

With the computational tools we have, we can account for missing terms, or reformulate the classical continuum mechanics with non-classical continuum mechanics (e.g., strain-gradient theories, peridynamics, and others).

Non-classical continuum mechanics brings additional means to address missing effects from the classical mechanics and explains certain essential mechanisms that are observed in experiments.

Eringen’s differential model is a diffusion type stress-gradient model. It shows stiffness reduction (flexibility) effect. Thus, it has limited application.

There is experimental as well as modeling evidence that indicates the non-locality in materials manifests in different forms.

Generalized (or non-classical) continuum theories are required to model material behavior more accurately. Such theories predict reduction in stress concentration factor around holes and cracks, which can give rise to improved toughness.

GraFEA has a great potential and it needs to be developed further for inelastic and ductile materials.

Strain gradient and modified coupe stress theories are related, and they show stiffening effect and allow for multiple length scales. They can be used to model large structures without using full 3-D models.

We must seek physically meaningful experimental validations to understand and predict the risks of failure (i.e., understand what is happening and use it to assess risk of failure).

Our works must be built on sound mechanics foundation (wisdom to see details).

We must develop robust computational tools that make use of advances made in theoretical developments and numerical methods.
