Abstract
How to simulate fracture mode and crack propagation path in a plate with multiple cracks is an attractive but
dicult issue in fracture mechanics. Peridynamics is a recently developed nonlocal continuum formulation that
can spontaneously predict the crack nucleation, branch and propagation in materials and structures through a
meshfree discrete technique. In this paper, the peridynamic motion equation with boundary traction is improved
by simplifying the boundary transfer functions. We calculate the critical cracking load and the fracture angles of
the plate with multiple cracks under uniaxial tension. The results are consistent with those predicted by classical
fracture mechanics. The fracture mode and crack propagation path are also determined. The calculation shows
that the brittle fracture process of the plate with multiple cracks can be conveniently and correctly simulated by the
peridynamic motion equation with boundary conditions.
