Peridynamics (PD) is a novel continuum mechanics theory established by Stewart Silling in
2000. The roots of PD can be traced back to the early works of Gabrio Piola according to …

In this paper we review the peridynamic model for brittle fracture and use it to investigate
crack branching in brittle homogeneous and isotropic materials. The peridynamic …

We propose a computational method for a homogenized peridynamics description of fiber-
reinforced composites and we use it to simulate dynamic brittle fracture and damage in …

A new material model for the dynamic fracture analysis of anisotropic materials has been
proposed within the framework of the bond-based peridynamic theory. This model enables …

The most common technique for the numerical implementation of peridynamic theory is
based on a mesh-free approach, in which the whole body is discretized with a uniform grid …

Peridynamics is a non‐local mechanics theory that uses integral equations to include
discontinuities directly in the constitutive equations. A three‐dimensional, state‐based …

We introduce a peridynamic model for functionally graded materials (FGMs) and study their
dynamic fracture behavior. After verification of elastic wave propagation in FGMs and …

Fatigue cracking in homogeneous and in composite materials is studied using a
peridynamic model. We introduce a set of critical damage factors that improve stability and …

Dynamic compact tension tests in concrete are investigated using an intermediately-
homogenized peridynamic (IH-PD) model, and the results are compared with a fully …

Peridynamic (PD) models of bodies without pre-cracks, based on a single fracture parameter
(associated with the critical fracture energy), produce different strengths when different …
