| Gradient Theory and Mg-Alloys Elias Aifantis1; 1ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI, Thessaloniki, Greece; PAPER: 448/Magnesium/Invited (Oral) SCHEDULED: 15:55/Thu. 24 Oct. 2019/Adonis ABSTRACT: After a brief introduction of the current status of gradient theory and its implications to elasticity, plasticity and diffusion, a discussion on applications to Mg alloys is provided. An effort is made to focus on the novel Mg alloy discovered by Professor Kawamura and the projects LPSO & FRAMED. References: [1] E.C.
