In this work, an ordinary state-based peridynamic homogenization method is presented, in which periodic boundary condition enforced by coupling the displacement of point pairs. Effective material properties are obtained from gradient tensor. The governing equation peridynamics integro-differential form instead more common spatial differential form, grants it unique advantage performing analysis...

Nanoindentation is a widely used method to probe the mechanical properties of glasses. However, interpreting glasses’ response nanoindentation can be challenging due complex nature stress field under indenter tip and lack in situ characterization techniques. Here, we present numerical model describing an archetypical soda-lime silicate window glass by means peridynamic simulations. We show that...

Fatigue assessment is one of the significant factors to be considered for estimating design life structures and structural reliability during operation. Especially, welded structures, high stress concentration, residual stresses, weld geometry quality make structure more vulnerable fatigue failures. Therefore, approaches that are effective required performances structures. Existing classical me...
