Abstract

By means of balanced virtual powers, it is developed an axiomatic approach, in the spirit of Noll, to second-gradient continua. The measure-theoretical formulation allows a considerable simplification, since the existence of an edge stress density is regarded as a special case of a surface stress which is a singular measure with respect to the area. In order to prove our results, we introduce a particular class of subbodies, namely the sets with curvature measure.
