Peridynamics is a nonlocal continuum-mechanical theory based on minimal regularity on the deformations. Its key trait is that of replacing local constitutive relations featuring spacial differential operators with integrals over differences…
Peridynamic (PD) theory is significant and promising in engineering and materials science; however, it imposes challenges owing to the enormous computational cost caused by its nonlocality. Our main contribution, which overcomes the…

The plastic flow of a foam results from bubble rearrangements. We study their occurrence in experiments where a foam is forced to flow in 2D: around an obstacle; through a narrow hole; or sheared between rotating disks. We describe their…
A new mathematical formulation for the constitutive laws governing elastic perfectly plastic materials is proposed here. In particular, it is shown that the elastic strain rate and the plastic strain rate form an orthogonal decomposition…
We develop an energy-landscape based elasto-plastic model to understand the behaviour of amorphous solids under uniform and cyclic shear. Amorphous solids are modeled as being composed of mesoscopic sub-volumes, each of which may occupy…

A polycrystalline solid is modelled as an ensemble of random irregular polyhedra filling the entire space occupied by the solid body, leaving no voids or flaws between them. Adjacent grains can slide with a relative velocity proportional to…
Meshfree discretizations of state-based peridynamic models are attractive due to their ability to naturally describe fracture of general materials. However, two factors conspire to prevent meshfree discretizations of state-based…

This work proposes a model for granular deformation that predicts the stress and velocity profiles in well-developed dense granular flows. Recent models for granular elasticity (Jiang and Liu 2003) and rate-sensitive plastic flow (Jop et…
A field theory is presented for predicting damage and fracture in quasi brittle materials incorporating effects of irreversible (plastic) deformation as well as elastic moduli that soften with damage. The new observation made here is that…
