Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized plasticity model with higher-order spatial gradients of the equivalent plastic strain in the yield condition was proposed and it was shown how these gradients affect the critical condition for the onset of localization and allow for a wavelength selection analysis leading to estimates for the width and or spacing of shear bands.
