In this contribution, we present a study on the performance of four different subparametric triangular finite element formulations for linear and nonlinear strain gradient elastic continua. Fully C 1 and nonconforming C * finite elements are considered for a numerical analysis. The results are demonstrated by means of two computational examples together with the L 2 , H 1 and H 2 error norms. An interesting aspect concerning the linear geometry approximation is revealed.
