Relative to the conventional metals used in structures, epoxy-based composites have poor
fracture toughness properties. This has long been a weak link when using epoxy composites …

The study of heat conduction phenomena using peridynamic (PD) theory has a paramount
significance on the development of computational heat transfer. This is because PD theory …

In this paper, a coupled electromechanical peridynamic model is introduced to describe
damaging and cracking in conducting composites. In this model, electrical peridynamic …

This paper presents for the first time an approach to the problem of electromechanical
fracture and crack propagation in piezoelectric solids with peridynamics. Fracture in …

A micropolar peridynamic model for in-plane electro-mechanical behavior of isotropic solids
is presented in this paper. The conceived analytical implicit formulation of the electrical part …

Abstract Glass–ceramics (GCs), obtained by controlled crystallization of a specially
formulated precursor glass, are interesting materials that show great promise in obtaining …

CNT (carbon nanotube) embedded polymer nanocomposites exhibit significant variation in
their electro-mechanical properties depending upon factors such as CNT volume fraction …

The formation of hotspots within polymer bonded explosives can lead to the thermal
decomposition and initiation of energetic materials. A frictional heating model is applied at …

An anisotropic model for two-dimensional electrical conduction, elasticity and fracture is
proposed in the peridynamic theoretical framework. Material points interact through elastic …

The growth of hotspots within polymer bonded explosives can lead to thermal
decomposition and subsequent initiation of the energetic material. An embedded structural …
