Title of the paper: Gradient Mechanics: A Revisit of Classical Laws - Hook, Newton, Fourier and Maxwell
Abstract:
Bio: Elias C. Aifantis is currently an Emeritus Professor of
Mechanics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki/Greece
and Michigan Technological University/USA, as well as
Mercator fellow at Friedrich-Alexander University/Germany
and a Distinguished Professor at Beijing University of Civil
Engineering and Architecture/China. Formerly, he has also
been a Distinguished Faculty Advisor at King Abdulaziz
University/Saudi Arabia, Distinguished Visiting Expert at
ITMO University/Russia and Southwest Jiaotong
University/China, as well as MegaGrant Director at Togliatti
State University /Russia. He has promoted highly
interdisciplinary work in mechanics of materials by bringing
into the field of solid mechanics ideas from diffusion theory,
chemical reactions, and nonlinear physics. He has coined the terms dislocation patterning,
material instabilities, gradient plasticity/elasticity, chemo/nanomechanics, and pioneered
internal length gradient (ILG) theories in these fields. Currently, he is extending the ILG
framework to revisit electromagnetism and Maxwell’s equations, as well as gravitation and
Newton’s Law. He has published over 650 articles and received about 15,690 citations with
60 h-index (Scopus); 14,260 citations with 58 h-index (Web of Science); 23,250 citations with
71 h-index (Google Scholar). He is included in the ISI Web of knowledge list of the world’s
most highly cited authors in engineering.
