Abstract Local-to-nonlocal (LtN) coupling refers to a class of methods aimed at combining
nonlocal and local modeling descriptions of a given system into a unified coupled …

The paper presents an effective and accurate way to couple FEM meshes to peridynamic
grids and uses it to solve 1D, 2D and 3D problems in static and dynamic conditions. Crack …

Peridynamics is a continuum theory based on a non-local approach and capable of dealing
with discontinuous displacement fields. The paper presents a technique to couple …

A local/nonlocal coupling technique called the morphing method is developed to couple
classical continuum mechanics with state-based peridynamics. State-based peridynamics …

A static peridynamic (proposed by Silling, see J. Mech. Phys. Solids 2000; 48: 175–209)
composite materials (CMs) of both the random and periodic structures are considered. In the …

This paper presents a method to couple FEM meshes with ordinary state-based peridynamic
grids. It generates a computational tool that is as efficient as computer methods based on …

The paper presents a new and simple way to couple FEM meshes to Peridynamic grids with
different grid sizes. The excellent performance of the coupling technique is illustrated by …

A dual peridynamics (PD) for brittle fracture is implemented in the commercial software
Abaqus by means of UEL/VUEL and UMAT/VUMAT subroutines, thereby, the peridynamic …

Peridigm is a meshfree peridynamics code written in C++ for use on large-scale parallel
computers. It was originally developed at Sandia National Laboratories and is currently …

Materials that are either manufactured or occur in nature and used both in industry and in
our daily lives (metals, rocks, wood, soil, suspensions, and biological tissue) are very …
