Abstract: This paper investigates the effect of the horizon size on failure due to strain and damage localization in the case where peridynamics is a nonlocal theory by its own, which corresponds to most bond-based peridynamics ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on the simulation of irregular stone masonry by the lattice discrete particle model (LDPM), which simulates the fracture and failure behavior of quasi-brittle heterogeneous materials by modeling the ...
