This paper presents the theory and the numerics of an isotropic gradient damage formulation within a thermodynamical background. The main motivation is provided by localization computations whereby classical local continuum formulations fail to produce physically meaningful and numerically convergin
## Abstract The paper presents the theory and the numerics of a thermodynamically consistent formulation of gradient plasticity at small strains. Starting from the classical local continuum formulation, which fails to produce physically meaningful and numerically converging results within localizat
