A physically-based dislocation theory of plasticity is derived within an extended continuum mechanical context. Thermodynamically consistent flow rules at the g

An overview of different methods for the derivation of extended continuum models is given. A gradient plasticity theory is established in the context of small d

Computational homogenization permits to capture the influence of the microstructure on the cyclic mechanical behavior of polycrystalline metals. In this work we
