What does "strain softening", "strain localization" and "damage localization" exactly mean?

08 August 2015 0 1K Report

What are the simple descriptions about "strain softening", "strain localization" and "damage localization"?

Moreover, what numerical conditions do they follow (i.e. the conditions indicate that each will happen)?
