Abstract: By simultaneously using approaches of mesomechanics and nonequilibrium thermodynamics, it is shown that any nanoinclusions, including those with a low elastic modulus, and nanopores cause material strengthening.

Keywords: mesomechanics, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, stress concentration, nanosize inclusions, nanopores, grain boundary, gradients of elastic constants.
