  text: We contrast different gradient-enhancements for plasticity-damage material
    models in the logarithmic strain space and compare them to reference models based
    on multiplicative plasticity. The models being compared include plasticity - gradient-damage,
    where the gradient-enhancement is applied on the local damage variable, and gradient-plasticity
    - damage with a gradient-enhanced plastic hardening variable. Thereby, gradient-plasticity
    proved to be able to simultaneously regularise plastic and ductile (plasticity-driven)
    damage localisation as confirmed by numerical localisation analyses. This appears
    to be especially advantageous for logarithmic strain space plasticity-damage,
    because of the observed plastic localisation even for the case of plasticity with
    hardening. Even though gradient-plasticity appears to be numerically more demanding,
    two numerical examples indicate a good robustness and mesh objectivity in the
    softening regime. Moreover, the internal length for plasticity is able to adjust
    the damage zone width, similarly to gradient-damage, however ensuring a priori
    that damage takes place exclusively inside the plastic zone.
