The second gradient model is applied in a strain localization analysis and localization limiters depending on the geometry and mechanical parameters of the layered material are obtained. %O ECCM15, 15th European Conference on Composite Materials, Venice, Italy, 24?28 June 2012 %B Proceedings of ECCM15, 15th European Conference on Composite Materials
