Nonlocal Peridynamic Modeling and Simulation on Crack Propagation in Concrete Structures

An extended peridynamic approach for crack propagation analysis in concrete structures was proposed. In the peridynamic constitutive model, concrete material was described as a series of interacting particles, and the short-range repulsive force and anisotropic behavior of concrete were taken into a...
