Abstract As a mathematical expression of the dynamic mechanical behavior, the constitutive model plays an indispensable role in numerical simulations of ceramic materials. The current bond-based peridynamic constitutive models can accurately describe the dynamic mechanical behavior of partial ceramic materials under impact loading, however, the predicted value of the Poisson’s ratio is 0.25, which is not true for most of the known ceramic materials. Herein, based on the existing bond-based peridynamic constitutive model, the current study utilizes the description of tangential bond force and considers the influence of bond force on rotation to accurately predict the… More >

Abstract Mechanical failure due to lithium-ion diffusion is one of the main obstacles to fulfill the potential of the electrode materials. Various fracture patterns in different electrode structures are observed in practice, which may have a profound impact on the performance and the service life of electrodes during operation. However, the mechanisms are largely unclear and still lack systematic understanding. Here we propose a coupled chemo-mechanical model based on peridynamics [1] and use it to study the dynamic fracturepattern formation in electrode materials and solid electrolytes during lithiation/delithiation cycles. We found in hollow core-shell nanowires that More >

Abstract Ceramic metal composite structure with high hardness, high bending strength of ceramic materials as the front layer and materials with high tensile strength, high elongation as the backing layer, has excellent penetration resistance. The current numerical methods for studying the penetration resistance of ceramic/metal composite structures under ballistic impact still have many deficiencies. Peridynamics (PD) is a novel nonlocal theory that is well suited for simulations involving damage and fracture behavior. At present, the existing rate-dependent bond-based PD (BB-PD) constitutive model considering the rotation effect and the Johnson-Cook (JC) metal model based on non-ordinary state-based… More >

Abstract Peridynamics (PD) is a reformulation of the classical continuum mechanics. Its core consists in that a weighted integral of relative displacement over a spatial domain is used instead of the spatial derivative of displacement in governing equations of deformation. Based on an improved technique of exerting traction on boundary surface, an improved peridynamic motion equation has been proposed within the framework of the peridynamic(PD) theory. It is more natural and easier to deal with boundary conditions for the elastic deformation and fracture analysis. Under the enhancement effect in the constructed transfer functions of boundary traction,… More >

Abstract In this study, we develop a Cosserat bond-based correspondence model(Cosserat BBCM) based on the bondbased correspondence model (BBCM)[1]. BBCM is a generalized bond-based peridynamic model, where the peridynamic pair-wise force (PD force) is calculated by classical constitutive equations through the relation between PD force and stress. In our previous study, we develop the Cosserat peridynamic model (CPM) to investigate the microstructure-related crack growth behavior [2, 3]. But the interactions between material particles are represented by PD forces and moments instead of the stress and couple stress. Due to this divergence, the Cosserat constitutive model such More >

Abstract This paper presents a fully coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical bond-based Cosserat peridynamic porous media model for concrete at high temperature [1-3]. The model enables the problem of Poisson's ratio limitation to be relieved and the effect of cement particle size and its independent micro-rotation to be taken into account [4]. A multi-rate explicit integration strategy is proposed, which allows this complex multi-field fully coupled governing equation to be well solved. Numerical simulations mainly focus on the terms of temperature, water vapour pressure and damage level to verify the validity of the model [5-9]. And they additionally demonstrate More >

Abstract The classical finite element method has been successfully applied to many engineering problems but not to cases with space discontinuity. A peridynamics-based finite element method (PeriFEM) is presented according to the principle of minimum potential energy, which enables discontinuity. First, the integral domain of peridynamics is reconstructed, and a new type of element called peridynamic element (PE) is defined. Although PEs are generated by the continuous elements (CEs) of classical FEM, they do not affect each other. Then, spatial discretization is performed based on PEs and CEs, and the linear equations about nodal displacement are… More >

Abstract In this study, a method for solving multigroup neutron diffusion equations for nuclear fuel pellets is proposed based on the bond-based PeriDynamic (PD) theory. Firstly, adopting the idea of non-local diffusion, the PD neutron diffusion coefficient is defined and calibrated through the equality of potential with the traditional neutron diffusion coefficient. Comparing the calculation results of the neutron flux distribution of the single-group neutron diffusion by the PD method and the traditional finite element method, the feasibility of the method is verified. Secondly, apply the leakage term in single-group to multigroup and consider the scattering… More >

Abstract This study presents a method for modeling and analyzing the microstructure of short-fiber composites by using state-based PeriDynamic (PD). The micro-structure of short-fiber composites is obtained from MicroCT scanning which provides non-uniformly discretized meshes of short-fiber’s surface profile. In order to obtain the uniformly discretized PD model, a new layering algorithm is proposed to reconstruct the shortfiber microstructure. Furthermore, considering the anisotropy of short-fiber, a clustering algorithm based on machine learning is introduced to identify fibers and calculate their orientations. The PD interaction domain of a material point on the boundary is incomplete, it can… More >

Abstract In this paper, we extend the Reissner-Mindlin shell theory based on peridynamics method proposed in [1] to the stiffened plate and explore its application to engineering problems, several examples are given to verify its effectiveness in the dynamic analysis. The coupling method is used in this paper to model the stiffened plate. The plate and the stiffener are treated as two independent shell to calculate the velocity and acceleration respectively, then the interaction between two parts of the stiffened plate is added at the coupling particle to satisfy the continuity condition.
