In the context of static elasticity theory for isotropic materials and small deformations, two continuum mechanical theories of higher order are considered. Thinking of generalized continua, a modification/simplification of the strain gradient- and the micropolar theory is shown. An analytical solution strategy is derived for each extended theory using the Euler–Bernoulli beam assumptions. A numerical solution of the resultant differential equations of fourth order, derived from the equilibrium formulation, is realized using a finite element implementation in an open source FE environment. In AFM experiments with microbeams, made of epoxy and of the polymer SU-8, force and deflection data is recorded. As a result, positive size effects depending on thickness are observed and quantified for the microbeams. The material length scale parameters and the elastic moduli are fitted with a least square approach and compared to literature values.
