Gradient-enriched linear-elastic tip stresses to perform the highcycle fatigue assessment of notched plain concrete

Gradient Elasticity (GE) allows the stress analysis to be performed by taking into account the size of the dominant source of microstructural heterogeneity via a suitable length scale parameter. This is done by simply assuming that the material under investigation obeys a linear-elastic constituti...
