A method is developed by which localization zones can be embedded in four-node quadrilaterals and related elements. This is accomplished by modifying the strain field within the framework of a three-field variational statement. The jumps in strain associated with the localization band are obtained by imposing traction continuity and compatibility within the element; the latter follows naturally from the variational statement. Several one- and two-dimensional applications are shown.
