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 …

Peridynamic (PD) theory is an integral-type nonlocal continuum mechanics theory that
reformulates the equation of motion in local continuum mechanics as an integrodifferential …

As drilling and blasting technique is applied in deep mining, its practical performance with
respect to rock fragmentation becomes a serious concern because high in-situ stress …

This paper presents a peridynamics-based computational approach for modelling blasting
induced rock fractures. A new non-ordinary state-based peridynamics approach is proposed …

A coupling approach of the isogeometric–meshfree method and the peridynamic method is
developed for static and dynamic crack propagation. The coupling approach exhibits …

Failure and damage of natural and man-made materials as a result of impact loading needs
to be understood as it is a phenomena that occurs in many fields of science and …

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is a multiphysics problem with diverse application scenarios
ranging from the aeroelasticity of aircraft wings and the structural response of marine …

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

Abstract The Drucker-Prager (DP) model is a representative elastoplastic model for
geomaterials because hydrostatic pressure is considered. This paper proposes an ordinary …

In this paper, we simulate the dynamic fracture and failure of three-dimensional concrete
structures using the peridynamic theory. Considering the heterogeneities and mesoscopic …
