This review article concerns a methodology for solving numerically, for engineering
purposes, boundary and initial-boundary value problems by a peculiar approach …

The definition and magnitude of the intrinsic length scale are keys to the development of the
gradient plasticity theory that incorporates size effects. However, a fixed value of the material …

Meshfree approximation, such as Moving Least Square (MLS) and Reproducing Kernel (RK)
approximations, possess intrinsic non‐local properties. These non‐local properties of …

To avoid the well‐known drawbacks of the classical continuum damage theory when
localization occurs, an isotropic gradient‐enchanced damage model is proposed in which …

This paper addresses the extension of a Eulerian logarithmic finite strain hyperelasto-
plasticity model in order to incorporate an isotropic plastic damage variable that leads to …

This paper presents the theory and the numerics of an isotropic gradient damage
formulation within a thermodynamical background. The main motivation is provided by …

We present a framework for the regularization of coupled damage–plasticity models through
gradient enhancement of the Helmholtz‐free‐energy function. This enhancement is …

An anisotropic damage constitutive model for concrete is developed within the framework of
elastoplasticity and continuum damage mechanics. The transformation from the effective …

This paper presents a gradient plasticity formulation developed in a strongly non‐local
format and applicable to ductile failure for finite strain plasticity. The obtained formulation is …

This paper provides an elementary introduction into modeling of localized inelastic
processes such as cracking or formation of shear bands. The basic concepts are explained …
