The Eshelby stress tensor, angular momentum tensor and dilatation flux in gradient elasticity

The Eshelby (static energy momentum) stress tensor, the angular momentum tensor and the dilatation flux are derived for anisotropic linear gradient elasticity in non-homogeneous materials. The divergence of these tensors gives the configurational forces, moments and work terms in gradient elasticity. There are several types of configurational forces, acting on the dislocation density and its gradient, on the inhomogeneities, proportional to the distortion, and linear and quadratic in the distortion gradient, and on the body force.
