We discuss the energetic formulation of the Gurtin and Anand model (J. Mech. Phys. Solids, 2005) in strain gradient plasticity, and illustrate the related mathematical analysis concerning the existence of quasi-static evolutions.
Keywords: energetic formulation, Strain gradient plasticity, quasi-static evolutions..
