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 …

Computational modeling of the initiation and propagation of complex fracture is central to the
discipline of engineering fracture mechanics. This review focuses on two promising …

The static solution of crack propagation problems can be an efficient way to find both the
failure load of a structure and the shape of the crack pattern. The paper introduces two new …

Abstract Peridynamics (PD), a non-local generalization of classical continuum mechanics
(CCM) allowing for discontinuous displacement fields, provides an attractive framework for …

Meshfree methods are commonly applied to discretize peridynamic models, particularly in
numerical simulations of engineering problems. Such methods discretize peridynamic …

Lagrangian formulations, in which material models are established upon a mapping from a
deformed domain back to an undeformed reference configuration, have traditionally been …

The recently conceived gap test and its simulation revealed that the fracture energy Gf (or
Kc, Jcr) of concrete, plastic-hardening metals, composites, and probably most materials can …

Particle crushing underpins important macroscopic behaviour of granular materials such as
yielding, deformation, dilatancy, failure, mobility and packing features. The crushing …

We begin the article by summarizing some key developments in the field of Peridynamics
(PD) and arrive at a conclusion that two schools of PD are emerging in recent years. One …

Pitting corrosion damage is a major problem affecting material strength and may result in
difficult to predict catastrophic failure of metallic material systems and structures …
