Implement, as the first in Europe, the material modelling algorithm Peridynamics.The relatively new theory of peridynamics is a non-local continuum theory for the modeling of materials behaviour and is especially powerful in treating the spontaneous formation of discontinuities. A literature study on the theory has been performed and a peridynamic code has been developed and verified using a tensile test under quasistatic conditions. An impact test is used subsequently to explore the… Show more Implement, as the first in Europe, the material modelling algorithm Peridynamics.The relatively new theory of peridynamics is a non-local continuum theory for the modeling of materials behaviour and is especially powerful in treating the spontaneous formation of discontinuities. A literature study on the theory has been performed and a peridynamic code has been developed and verified using a tensile test under quasistatic conditions. An impact test is used subsequently to explore the influence of several parameters. A dynamic fracture test has been studied next to determine the limit of the crack propagation speed, which turns out to be bounded by the Rayleigh wave speed. The insight that these results give in the properties of peridynamics opens the road to extension of the code to solve problems which have not yet been solved.Work with (MSc) Fortran / TecPlot / MATLAB / Linux.
