A graduate student’s perspectives on the article “Nonlocal elasticity and related variational principles“ by Castrenze Polizzotto

Abstract

This is a short note intended to highlight the contribution of the seminal article “Nonlocal elasticity and related variational principles" by Prof. Dr. Castrenze Polizzotto that appeared in the Volume 38 of International Journal of Solids and Structures, to the field of nonlocal elasticity. The considered article was instrumental in shaping the present author’s concepts, understanding, and approach to integral nonlocal elasticity; henceforth, simply referred to as nonlocal elasticity.
