Abstract: The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been dogged by continuity demands on the basis functions. For most commonly accepted models, solutions using the finite element method demand

continuity of the shape functions. Here, recent development in discontinuous Galerkin methods are explored and exploited for the solution of a prototype nonlinear strain gradient dependent continuum model. A formulation is developed that allows the rigorous solution of a strain gradient damage model using standard

shape functions. The formulation is tested in one-dimension for the simplest possible finite element formulation: piecewise linear displacement and constant (on elements) internal variable. Numerical results are shown to compare excellently with a benchmark solution. The results are remarkable given the simplicity of the proposed formulation.
