Summary
The peridynamics proposed by Silling [1] is a non-local theory of solid mechanics. It redefines the problems by using integral equations rather than partial differential equations. It is assumed that the equilibrium of a material point is attained by an integral of internal forces exerted by non-adjacent points across a finite distance. This non-local model allows crack initiation and evolution simultaneously at multiple sites, with spontaneous paths inside the material and without formulating a complex crack growth criterion. These advantages have attached considerable attention to peridynamics in the past ten years. The research areas related to peridynamics have also been extended to the fields of thermal, electricity, fluids, soft matter, etc. However, there are still many research areas to explore in the peridynamic framework. These research directions include constitutive modeling, parameter calibration, surface effect correction, application of boundary conditions, multiphysics and multiscale modeling, coupling of peridyanmics and classical theories, high-performance computation, machine learning strategy, software development, etc. Advances in these researches will further promote peridynamics to serve engineering applications better. Therefore, this special issue invites contributions to recent developments on the peridynamic theory and its current progress.

ABAQUS and ANSYS Implementations of the Peridynamics-Based Finite Element Method (PeriFEM) for Brittle Fractures
Fei Han, Zhibin Li, Jianyu Zhang, Zhiying Liu, Chen Yao, Wenping Han
CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.136, No.3, pp. 2715-2740, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.026922

Peridynamics and its Current Progress)
Abstract In this study, we propose the first unified implementation strategy for peridynamics in commercial finite element
method (FEM) software packages based on their application programming interface using the peridynamics-based
finite element method (PeriFEM). Using ANSYS and ABAQUS as examples, we present the numerical results and
implementation details of PeriFEM in commercial FEM software. PeriFEM is a reformulation of the traditional
FEM for solving peridynamic equations numerically. It is considered that the non-local features of peridynamics
yet possesses the same computational framework as the traditional FEM. Therefore, this implementation benefits
from the consistent computational frameworks of both PeriFEM and the traditional…

Abstract The numerical simulation results utilizing the Peridynamics (PD) method reveal that the initial crack and crack propagation of the tunnel concrete lining structure agree with the experimental data compared to the Japanese prototype lining test. The load structure model takes into account the cracking process and distribution of the lining segment under the influence of local bias pressure and lining thickness. In addition, the influence of preset cracks and lining section form on the crack propagation of the concrete lining model is studied. This study evaluates the stability and sustainability of tunnel structure by the Peridynamics method, which provides a…

Abstract The ablation of ultra-high-temperature ceramics (UTHCs) is a complex physicochemical process including mechanical behavior, temperature effect, and chemical reactions. In order to realize the structural optimization and functional design of ultra-high temperature ceramics, a coupled thermo-chemo-mechanical bond-based peridynamics (PD) model is proposed based on the ZrB
2 ceramics oxidation kinetics model and coupled thermo-mechanical bond-based peridynamics. Compared with the traditional coupled thermo-mechanical model, the proposed model considers the influence of chemical reaction process on the ablation resistance of ceramic materials. In order to verify the reliability of the proposed model, the thermo-mechanical coupling model, damage model and oxidation kinetic model are…

Abstract Peridynamics (PD) is a non-local mechanics theory that overcomes the limitations of classical continuum mechanics (CCM) in predicting the initiation and propagation of cracks. However, the calculation efficiency of PD models is
generally lower than that of the traditional finite element method (FEM). Structural idealization can greatly improve
the calculation efficiency of PD models for complex structures. This study presents a PD shell model based on the
micro-beam bond via the homogenization assumption. First, the deformations of each endpoint of the micro-beam
bond are calculated through the interpolation method. Second, the micro-potential energy of the axial, torsional,
and bending deformations…

Peridynamics and its Current Progress)
Abstract In this paper, the evaluations of metal ablation processes under high temperature, i.e., the Al plate ablated by a laser and a heat carrier and the reactor pressure vessel ablated by a core melt, are studied by a novel peridynamic method. Above all, the peridynamic formulation for the heat conduction problem is obtained by Taylor’s expansion technique. Then, a simple and efficient moving boundary model in the peridynamic framework is proposed to handle the variable geometries, in which the ablated states of material points are described by an additional scalar field. Next, due to the automatic non-interpenetration properties of peridynamic…

Abstract This paper proposes a hybrid peridynamic and classical continuum mechanical model for the high-temperature
damage and fracture analysis of concrete structures. In this model, we introduce the thermal expansion into
peridynamics and then couple it with the thermoelasticity based on the Morphing method. In addition, a
thermomechanical constitutive model of peridynamic bond is presented inspired by the classic Mazars model
for the quasi-brittle damage evolution of concrete structures under high-temperature conditions. The validity
and effectiveness of the proposed model are verified through two-dimensional numerical examples, in which the
influence of temperature on the damage behavior of concrete structures is investigated.…

Peridynamics and its Current Progress)
Abstract A rate-dependent peridynamic ceramic model, considering the brittle tensile response, compressive plastic
softening and strain-rate dependence, can accurately represent the dynamic response and crack propagation
of ceramic materials. However, it also considers the strain-rate dependence and damage accumulation caused
by compressive plastic softening during the compression stage, requiring more computational resources for the
bond force evaluation and damage evolution. Herein, the OpenMP parallel optimization of the rate-dependent
peridynamic ceramic model is investigated. Also, the modules that compute the interactions between material
points and update damage index are vectorized and parallelized. Moreover, the numerical examples are carried
out to simulate the…
