An adaptive dynamic relaxation method for quasi-static simulations using the peridynamic theory

The peridynamic theory is advantageous for problems involving damage since the peridynamic equation of motion is valid everywhere, regardless of existing discontinuities, and an external criterion is not necessary for predicting damage initiation and propagation. However, the current solution methods for the equations of peridynamics utilize explicit time integration, which poses difficulties in simulations of most experiments under quasi-static conditions. Thus, there is a need to obtain steady-state solutions in order to validate peridynamic predictions against experimental measurements. This study presents an extension of dynamic relaxation methods for obtaining steady-state solutions of nonlinear peridynamic equations.

Analysis of the Volume-Constrained Peridynamic Navier Equation of Linear Elasticity

Well-posedness results for the state-based peridynamic nonlocal continuum model of solid mechanics are established with the help of a nonlocal vector calculus. The peridynamic strain energy density for an elastic constitutively linear anisotropic heterogeneous solid is expressed in terms of the field operators of that calculus, after which a variational principle for the equilibrium state is defined. The peridynamic Navier equilibrium equation is then derived as the first-order necessary conditions and are shown to reduce, for the case of homogeneous materials, to the classical Navier equation as the extent of nonlocal interactions vanishes. Then, for certain peridynamic constitutive relations, the peridynamic energy space is shown to be equivalent to the space of square-integrable functions; this result leads to well-posedness results for volume-constrained problems of both the Dirichlet and Neumann types. Using standard results, well-posedness is also established for the time-dependent peridynamic equation of motion.     

Dynamic Brittle Fracture as a Small Horizon Limit of Peridynamics

We consider the nonlocal formulation of continuum mechanics described by peridynamics. We provide a link between peridynamic evolution and brittle fracture evolution for a broad class of peridynamic potentials associated with unstable peridynamic constitutive laws. Distinguished limits of peridynamic evolutions are identified that correspond to vanishing peridynamic horizon. The limit evolution has both bounded linear elastic energy and Griffith surface energy. The limit evolution corresponds to the simultaneous evolution of elastic displacement and fracture. For points in spacetime not on the crack set the displacement field evolves according to the linear elastic wave equation. The wave equation provides the dynamic coupling between elastic waves and the evolving fracture path inside the media. The elastic moduli, wave speed and energy release rate for the evolution are explicitly determined by moments of the peridynamic influence function and the peridynamic potential energy.     

Deformation of a Peridynamic Bar

The deformation of an infinite bar subjected to a self-equilibrated load distribution is investigated using the peridynamic formulation of elasticity theory. The peridynamic theory differs from the classical theory and other nonlocal theories in that it does not involve spatial derivatives of the displacement field. The bar problem is formulated as a linear Fredholm integral equation and solved using Fourier transform methods. The solution is shown to exhibit, in general, features that are not found in the classical result. Among these are decaying oscillations in the displacement field and progressively weakening discontinuities that propagate outside of the loading region. These features, when present, are guaranteed to decay provided that the wave speeds are real. This leads to a one-dimensional version of St. Venant's principle for peridynamic materials that ensures the increasing smoothness of the displacement field remotely from the loading region. The peridynamic result converges to the classical result in the limit of short-range forces. An example gives the solution to the concentrated load problem, and hence provides the Green's function for general loading problems.     

Peridynamic modelling of impact damage in three-point bending beam with offset notch

The nonlocal peridynamic theory has been proven to be a promising method for the material failure and damage analyses in solid mechanics.Based upon the integrodifferential equations,peridynamics enables predicting the complex fracture phenomena such as spontaneous crack nucleation and crack branching,curving,and arrest.In this paper,the bond-based peridynamic approach is used to study the impact damage in a beam with an offset notch,which is widely used to investigate the mixed I-II crack propagation in brittle materials.The predictions from the peridynamic analysis agree well with available experimental observations.The numerical results show that the dynamic fracture behaviors of the beam under the impact load,such as crack initiation,curving,and branching,rely on the location of the offset notch and the impact speed of the drop hammer.     

Adaptive coupling between damage mechanics and peridynamics: A route for objective simulation of material degradation up to complete failure

The objective (mesh-independent) simulation of evolving discontinuities, such as cracks, remains a challenge. Current techniques are highly complex or involve intractable computational costs, making simulations up to complete failure difficult. We propose a framework as a new route toward solving this problem that adaptively couples local-continuum damage mechanics with peridynamics to objectively simulate all the steps that lead to material failure: damage nucleation, crack formation and propagation. Local-continuum damage mechanics successfully describes the degradation related to dispersed microdefects before the formation of a macrocrack. However, when damage localizes, it suffers spurious mesh dependency, making the simulation of macrocracks challenging. On the other hand, the peridynamic theory is promising for the simulation of fractures, as it naturally allows discontinuities in the displacement field. Here, we present a hybrid local-continuum damage/peridynamic model. Local-continuum damage mechanics is used to describe “volume” damage before localization. Once localization is detected at a point, the remaining part of the energy is dissipated through an adaptive peridynamic model capable of the transition to a “surface” degradation, typically a crack. We believe that this framework, which actually mimics the real physical process of crack formation, is the first bridge between continuum damage theories and peridynamics. Two-dimensional numerical examples are used to illustrate that an objective simulation of material failure can be achieved by this method.

Static and Dynamic Green’s Functions in Peridynamics

We derive the static and dynamic Green’s functions for one-, two- and three-dimensional infinite domains within the formalism of peridynamics, making use of Fourier transforms and Laplace transforms. Noting that the one-dimensional and three-dimensional cases have been previously studied by other researchers, in this paper, we develop a method to obtain convergent solutions from the divergent integrals, so that the Green’s functions can be uniformly expressed as conventional solutions plus Dirac functions, and convergent nonlocal integrals. Thus, the Green’s functions for the two-dimensional domain are newly obtained, and those for the one and three dimensions are expressed in forms different from the previous expressions in the literature. We also prove that the peridynamic Green’s functions always degenerate into the corresponding classical counterparts of linear elasticity as the nonlocal length tends to zero. The static solutions for a single point load and the dynamic solutions for a time-dependent point load are analyzed. It is analytically shown that for static loading, the nonlocal effect is limited to the neighborhood of the loading point, and the displacement field far away from the loading point approaches the classical solution. For dynamic loading, due to peridynamic nonlinear dispersion relations, the propagation of waves given by the peridynamic solutions is dispersive. The Green’s functions may be used to solve other more complicated problems, and applied to systems that have long-range interactions between material points.     

Force flux and the peridynamic stress tensor

The peridynamic model is a framework for continuum mechanics based on the idea that pairs of particles exert forces on each other across a finite distance. The equation of motion in the peridynamic model is an integro-differential equation. In this paper, a notion of a peridynamic stress tensor derived from nonlocal interactions is defined. At any point in the body, this stress tensor is obtained from the forces within peridynamic bonds that geometrically go through the point. The peridynamic equation of motion can be expressed in terms of this stress tensor, and the result is formally identical to the Cauchy equation of motion in the classical model, even though the classical model is a local theory. We also establish that this stress tensor field is unique in a certain function space compatible with finite element approximations.

Kirchhoff弹性杆分析动力学的准坐标表达

作为DNA的力学模型,依据Kirchhoff动力学比拟思想建立的弹性细杆的分析力学方法已从静力学深入到动力学。由于静力学平衡微分方程与刚体动力学相当,因此,弹性细杆动力学的分析力学方程必是以弧坐标和时间为双自变量的偏微分方程。以横截面的形心速度以及弯扭度和角速度沿主轴的分量为准速度,定义了准坐标,导出了准坐标的微分和变分运算的交换关系。从Hamilton原理出发,利用准坐标的微分和变分运算的交换关系,导出了Kirchhoff弹性杆动力学准坐标下的Boltzmann-Hamel方程,并由此导出Lanrange方程。指出了Boltzmann-Hamel方程显式即为弹性杆动力学的Kirchhoff方程。定义关于弧坐标和时间的正则变量和Hamilton函数,导出Boltzmann-Hamel方程的正则形式。本文结果是以弹性杆静力学和刚性杆动力学为其特例。作为例子,建立了垂挂的在重力作用下作平面运动的弹性细杆的动力学微分方程以说明本文方法的应用。     

Nonlocal Constrained Value Problems for a Linear Peridynamic Navier Equation

In this paper, we carry out further mathematical studies of nonlocal constrained value problems for a peridynamic Navier equation derived from linear state-based peridynamic models. Given the nonlocal interactions effected in the model, constraints on the solution over a volume of nonzero measure are natural conditions to impose. We generalize previous well-posedness results that were formulated for very special kernels of nonlocal interactions. We also give a more rigorous treatment to the convergence of solutions to nonlocal peridynamic models to the solution of the conventional Navier equation of linear elasticity as the horizon parameter goes to zero. The results are valid for arbitrary Poisson ratio, which is a characteristic of the state-based peridynamic model.     

Solution of the plane stress problems of strain-hardening materials described by power-law using the complex pseudo-stress function

In the present paper,the compatibility equation for the plane stress problems of power-law materials is transformed into a biharmonic equation by introducing the so-calledcomplex pseudo-stress function,which makes it possible to solve the elastic-plastic planestress problems of strain hardening materials described by power-law using the complexvariable function method like that in the linear elasticity theory.By using this generalmethod,the close-formed analytical solutions for the stress,strain and displacementcomponents of the plane stress problems’of power-law materials is deduced in the paper,which can also be used to solve the elasto-plastic plane stress problems of strain-hardeningmaterials other than that described by power-law.As an example,the problem of a power-law material infinite plate containing a circular hole under uniaxial tension is solved byusing this method,the results of which are compared with those of a known asymptoticanalytical solution obtained by the perturbation method.     

The singularity in the state-based peridynamic solution of uniaxial tension

We solve the local uniaxial tension of an infinite rod in the framework of non-ordinary state-based peridynamics.The singular solutions of stress and displacement are acquired.When the influencing range of the window function approaches zero,these two solutions will return to the solutions of the classical elasticity.The analysis shows that the singularities of the solutions stem from such a feature of the window function that must be represented by a rapidly decreasing function in physics.Contrary to the classical elasticity,the stress solution of peridynamics is smoother than the displacement solution.In addition,a criterion used to select the window function is proposed in this paper.     

An extended constitutive correspondence formulation of peridynamics based on nonlinear bond-strain measures

An extension of the constitutive correspondence framework of peridynamics is proposed. The main motivation is to address unphysical deformation modes which are shown to be permitted in the original constitutive formulation. The specific problem of matter interpenetration observed in numerical discretizations of peridynamics has usually been treated by adding short-range forces between neighboring particles in the discretization. Here, we propose a solution that is rooted directly within the nonlocal theory. The basic approach is to introduce generalized nonlocal peridynamic strain tensors based on corresponding bond-level Seth–Hill strain measures which inherently avoid violations of the matter interpenetration constraint. Several analytic examples are used to show that the modified theory avoids issues of matter interpenetration in cases where the original theory fails. The resulting extended constitutive correspondence framework supports general classic constitutive laws as originally intended and is also shown to be ordinary.
