Peridynamics (PD) is an effective numerical analysis theory applicable to problems involving strong discontinuities such as fractures. The convergence of numerical results from PD models depends on ...

Peridynamic models have been employed to simulate a broad range of engineering applications concerning material failure and damage, with the majority of these simulations using a meshfree ...

The aim of this paper is to develop new computational tools to study fatigue crack propagation in structural materials. In particular we compare the performance of different degradation strategies to ...

Peridynamics is a recently developed formulation for continuum mechanics which describes material deformation using a nonlocal approach. Unlike Classical Continuum Mechanics (CCM) where the ...

We study the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using the Projection Method. The applications of interest are the classical channel flow problems such as Couette, shear, and Poiseuille. In ...

Efficient and accurate calculation of spatial integrals is of major interest in the numerical implementation of peridynamics (PD). The standard way to perform this calculation is a particle-based ...

This study examines unsteady heat transfer in the soil mass surrounding an inclined access mine working. Initially, the soils are considered frozen, but due to contact with warmer air entering the ...

Peridynamics is an alternative discretization scheme that has proven well-suited for fracture mechanics problems. It was originally developed for continuum mechanics problems, but is applicable for ...
