A thermodynamically consistent nonlocal formulation for damaging materials is presented. The second principle of thermodynamics is enforced in a nonlocal form over the volume where the dissipative mechanism takes place. The nonlocal forces thermodynamically conjugated are obtained consistently from

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
