We present a comprehensive rotation-free Kirchhoff–Love (KL) shell formulation for
peridynamics (PD) that is capable of modeling large elasto-plastic deformations and fracture …

Peridynamics has been proven to be a promising method for investigating the damage and
failure behaviors of reinforced concrete structures due to its strong capacity in tackling …

Peridigm is a meshfree peridynamics code written in C++ for use on large-scale parallel
computers. It was originally developed at Sandia National Laboratories and is currently …

Partition of unity methods are of domain decomposition type and provide the opportunity for
multiscale and multiphysics numerical modeling. Different physical models can exist within a …

Partition of unity methods (PUM) are of domain decomposition type and provide the
