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 …

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

Parallel processing is one of the major trends in the computational mechanics community.
Due to inherent limitations in processor design, manufacturers have shifted towards the multi …

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 …

We present a brute-force approach for finding k-nearest neighbors on the GPU for many
queries in parallel. Our program takes advantage of recent advances in fundamental GPU …

Due to the adoption of integral equations instead of partial differential equations to describe
the deformations of materials, the peridynamics has advantages in dealing with fracture …

The open source code NLMech is an implementation of finite difference approximation of
nonlocal models, eg peridynamic. Peridynamic (PD)(Silling et al., 2007; Silling & Askari …

The modelling and simulation of material degradations, particularly fractures in solids of
different lengths and time scales, remains challenging despite the numerous approaches …

Peridynamics (PD) using integral equations has unique advantages in modeling structural
damage evolution, but the expensive computational and memory costs associated with the …

ABSTRACT A rate-dependent peridynamic ceramic model, considering the brittle tensile
response, compressive plastic softening and strain-rate dependence, can accurately …
