A Concise Review of Gradient Models in Mechanics and Physics

The various mathematical models developed over the years to interpret the behavior of materials and corresponding processes they undergo were based on observations and experiments made at that time. Classical laws for solids (Hooke) and fluids (Navier–Stokes) form the basis of current technology. Th...
