Abstract
In this study, a recently developed peridynamic lattice model called the “State-based Peridynamic Lattice Model” (SPLM) is improved and demonstrated. In the SPLM, rather than as a continuum, solids are simulated using a close-packed lattice of peridynamically interacting particles. The new SPLM approach advances the SPLM model by improving the damage and plasticity models. Elasticity, plasticity and damage are coupled in this approach. A robust method for damage initiation is developed. A new damage model called the “two-spring damage model” allows damage to localize to a single lattice particle, thus allowing highly localized damage… More >
