This study presents a comprehensive exploration of Peridynamic (PD) theory, with a specific
focus on its theoretical foundations and practical implementations, including various PD …

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 …

Bolted joints are the dominant connection method in assembling composite structures. To
investigate the failure mechanism of composite bolted joints under tensile loading, a three …

The available potential plant waste could be worthy material to strengthen polymers to make
sustainable products and structural components. Therefore, modeling the natural fiber …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) meso-scale approach is proposed to simulate the fracture
of ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) within the framework of peridynamics (PD) …

Fatigue crack propagation is crucial in studying fatigue in engineered cementitious
composites (ECC). This paper established a peridynamics (PD)-based fatigue crack …

In this study, a series of three-point bending tests were carried out with notched beam
structures made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber-reinforced ultra-high-performance concrete …

Shear effect is a crucial factor in determining crack propagation of mode II and mixed-mode
fractures for brittle and quasi-brittle materials. Based on Timoshenko beam theory, shear …

Engineering cement-based composite materials (ECC) are widely used for strengthening
concrete structures and resisting impact loads. However, the impact failure process of …

The propagation and coalescence of cracks in fiber-reinforced concretes (FRCs) is the direct
cause of instability in many engineering structures. To predict the crack propagation path …
