In this paper, we represent second-gradient internal work functionals in Lagrangian
(referential) and Eulerian (spatial) descriptions, and we deduce the corresponding …

The critical effect of micro level defects should be examined at macro level to better
understand the fracture behaviors of engineering materials. This study investigates the …

Pantographs are a special class of metamaterials that do not obey theories of first gradient
continua. In the present work, a pantographic metamaterial was 3D printed and subjected to …

This study presents fully coupled ordinary state based peridynamic (PD) model for of
laminated composites. The formulation includes coupling of both thermal and mechanical …

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 …

Dynamic crack propagation assessment in functionally graded materials (FGMs) with micro-
cracks is accomplished using bond-based Peridynamics (PD). The dynamic fracture …

Crack propagation in functionally graded materials containing micro cracks is investigated
using ordinary state-based Peridynamic theory. This study focuses on the dynamic fracture …

The matrix component of composite structures is generally brittle. In any damage
occurrence, fracture propagates rapidly through the structure. This study proposes a novel …

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 …

This paper proposes a framework for implementing viscoelastic constitutive model from the
classical continuum mechanics (CCM) theory within non-ordinary state-based peridynamics …
