Abstract
The continuum theory of dislocations is applied to formulate the problem of a double ended dislocation pileup under quadratic applied stress. Accordingly, a second order stress gradient plasticity model is presented to address the contribution of the first and the second stress gradients in the effect interpretation. The model is employed to predict the initial strengthening and subsequent hardening in curved and straight thin foils under pure bending within the continuum framework. It is shown that the so-called stress gradient plasticity model that ignores the second stress gradient may not give sound interpretations of the size effects. The plastic response of thin foils is affected by...

Abstract
We present sliding experiments of a sledge on wetted sand and describe that the frictional response is controlled by the penetration hardness of the granular medium. Adding a small amount of water to sand increases the hardness which results in a decrease of the sliding friction. Pouring even more water to sand results in a decrease of the hardness and a subsequent increase of the friction. This inverse correlation between hardness of a wetted granular material and its frictional response to sliding is found to be due to ploughing of the sledge. When the load of the sledge exceeds the penetration hardness of the water-sand mixture the granular material is irreversibly deformed, which is...
