Published: December 2016

An ordinary state-based peridynamic formulation is developed to analyse cubic polycrystalline materials for the first time in the literature. This new approach has the advantage that no constraint condition is imposed on material constants as opposed to bond-based peridynamic theory. The formulation is validated by first considering static analyses and comparing the displacement fields obtained from the finite element method and ordinary state-based peridynamics. Then, dynamic analysis is performed to investigate the effect of grain boundary strength, crystal size, and discretization size on fracture behaviour and fracture morphology.

Article Synopsis
  • Material anisotropy due to crystal orientation significantly influences the mechanical and fracture properties of crystal materials, and the paper introduces an improved peridynamic model to analyze this effect on cubic crystals.
  • An innovative periodic function regarding crystal orientation simplifies the simulation process, allowing for accurate prediction of crack propagation without complex transformations.
  • The study reveals that variations in crystal orientation alter crack initiation and propagation paths, with particular notch shapes affecting fracture resistance, notably showing that semi-circular notches lead to slower crack initiation and propagation under tensile loading.

Peridynamic modeling of nonlinear surface acoustic waves propagating in orthotropic materials.

Ultrasonics

September 2023

Key Laboratory of Mechanism Theory and Equipment Design of Ministry of Education, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300354, China.

Due to the elastic nonlinearity of the material, high-amplitude surface acoustic waves undergo nonlinear evolution during propagation and may lead to material failure. To enable the acoustical quantification of material nonlinearity and strength, a comprehensive understanding of this nonlinear evolution is necessary. This paper presents a novel ordinary state-based nonlinear peridynamic model for the analysis of the nonlinear propagation of surface acoustic waves and brittle fracture in anisotropic elastic media.

A Modified Bond-Associated Non-Ordinary State-Based Peridynamic Model for Impact Problems of Quasi-Brittle Materials.

Materials (Basel)

May 2023

Hubei Key Laboratory of Theory and Application of Advanced Materials Mechanics, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China.

In this work, we have developed a novel bond-associated non-ordinary state-based peridynamic (BA-NOSB PD) model for the numerical modeling and prediction of the impact response and fracture damage of quasi-brittle materials. First, the improved Johnson-Holmquist (JH2) constitutive relationship is implemented in the framework of BA-NOSB PD theory to describe the nonlinear material response, which also helps to eliminate the zero-energy mode. Afterwards, the volumetric strain in the equation of state is redefined by the introduction of the bond-associated deformation gradient, which can effectively improve the stability and accuracy of the material model.

Since it is almost impossible to carry out a comprehensive parametric investigation experimentally for internal cracks with different geometry and orientation, a good numerical modeling and simulation technique is necessary to have a clear understanding of the physics of wave propagation and its interaction with cracks. Such investigation is helpful for structural health monitoring (SHM) with ultrasonic techniques. This work presents a nonlocal peri-ultrasound theory based on ordinary state-based (OSB) peridynamics for modeling elastic wave propagation in three-dimensional (3-D) plate structures containing multiple cracks.

An Ordinary State-Based Peridynamic Model of Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Material in the Cutting Process.

Polymers (Basel)

December 2022

School of Mechanical and Power Engineering, Zhengzhou University, No. 100 Science Avenue, Zhengzhou 450001, China.

Due to the complexity of the composite structure, analyzing the material failure process of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) is fairly difficult, particularly for the machining process. Peridynamic theory, a new branch of solid mechanics, is a useful tool for dealing with discontinuities. This study presents an ordinary state-based peridynamic (OSB-PD) model for unidirectional CFRP material in the cutting process.
