ABSTRACT = {The conventional peridynamic material correspondence model suffers from the well-known issue of 
material instability. The material instability in peridynamics can be understood as the existence of nonunique mapping between deformation states and the resultant force state. This instability poses practical 
difficulties while using the correspondence model in computational modeling. One consequence of this 
instability is the oscillation in the predicted displacement field, i.e., existence of zero-energy modes. Bondassociated correspondence formulations have been proposed to inherently remove the material instability. 
Different from the conventional formulation, bond-associated formulations are developed based on the 
concept of bond-associated deformation gradient that constructed based on the deformation states of a 
subset of the family.<br/>
On the other hand, although peridynamics can capture material length-scale effect by calibrating the horizon 
size, it is only limited to the stiffness softening effect. In the limit of infinitesimal horizon size, the 
peridynamics theory converges to the local continuum theory. To capture both stiffness softening and 
hardening effects, strain gradient parameter has been introduced by developing higher-order material 
correspondence between peridynamics and strain gradient theory. In the peridynamic strain gradient 
model, both horizon and strain gradient parameter are used to capture the material length-scale effects.<br/>
This presentation will focus on both aspects of the material correspondence models in peridynamics, the 
bond-associated formulations to inherently remove material instability and the higher-order formulation to 
enable modeling both stiffness softening and hardening length-scale effects. Formulation details will be 
discussed, and numerical results will be presented.},
