      title = {Peridynamic theory and its applications [electronic  resource]  /},
      abstract = {The peridynamic theory provides the capability for  improved modeling of progressive failure in materials and  structures, paving the way to address multi-physics and  multi-scale problems. Because it is based on concepts not  commonly used in the past, the purpose of this book is to  explain the peridynamic theory in a single framework. It  presents not only the theoretical basis but also its  numerical implementation. The book begins with an overview  of the peridynamic theory and derivation of its governing  equations. The relationship between peridynamics and  classical continuum mechanics is established, and this  leads to the ordinary state-based peridynamics formulations  for both isotropic and composite materials. Numerical  treatments of the peridynamic equations are presented in  detail along with solutions to many benchmark and  demonstration problems. In order to take advantage of  salient features of peridynamics and the finite element  method, a coupling technique is also described. Finally, an  extension of the peridynamic theory for thermal diffusion  and fully coupled thermomechanics is presented with  applications.},
