Nonlocal elastodynamics and fracture

Abstract

A nonlocal field theory of peridynamic type is applied to model the brittle fracture problem. The elastic fields obtained from the nonlocal model are shown to converge in the limit of vanishing non-locality to solutions of classic plane elastodynamics associated with a running crack.
