Damage models are known to describe the accumulation of continuum damage, the initiation
of micro cracks, and their coalescence to macro cracks. The increase of damage generally
leads to a local softening behaviour. A local approach to such phenomena may lead to a
physically unacceptable localisation of the deformation which gives a spurious mesh
sensitivity of the numerical computation. The nonlocal integral type theory overcomes such
deficiency. Only a few papers have been published applying the BEM to the nonlocal
plasticity and damage. Following a recent paper, the author means to present some BEM
results in continuum damage mechanics
