A critical overview of past research on the interaction integral (I-integral) method is
presented. The I-integral is the two-state mutual energy release rate decided by a …

Peridynamics is a new approach to continuum mechanics. There has been rapid progress in
peridynamics research, especially in recent years. In this review study, recent advances in …

Mixed-mode fatigue crack propagation analysis is studied using ordinary state-based
peridynamics. By introducing the concept of “remaining life”, the fatigue crack nucleation and …

This work proposes an efficient FE-based approach for reproducing dynamic crack
propagation phenomena in quasi-brittle materials. The proposed model uses a Moving …

Functionally graded materials are regarded as a special kind of composites capable of
eliminating material interfaces and the delamination problems. Stress discontinuity can be …

The numerical solution of peridynamics equations is usually done by using uniform spatial
discretisation. Although implementation of uniform discretisation is straightforward, it can …

In this paper, a modelling for ordinary state-based peridynamics to simulate plastic
deformation is presented. This modelling can simulate nonlinear-hardening plastic mode …

Dynamic fracture analysis for the crack arrest phenomenon is performed by ordinary state-
based peridynamics formulation and discretization employing transition bond concept …

Fatigue assessment is one of the significant factors to be considered for estimating design
life of structures and structural reliability during operation. Especially, for welded structures …

In this study, a two-dimensional peridynamic contact model is proposed to model the
propagation of frictional crack within the peridynamic framework. Compared with traditional …
