Abstract
The concept of nonlocal continuum, which was introduced into continuum mechanics by Eringen [1,2], Kröner [3] and others, has recently proven to be an effective approach to endow a continuum model for strain-softening damage with a localization limiter which prevents spurious localization instabilities [4–6]. Physical micromechanical justification of this concept, however, has been almost nonexistent.
