An energy based peridynamic state-based failure criterion

Kurzfassung

The paper presents a verification and convergence study of a energy based failure model based on Foster et al.. The failure model has been implemented in the open source software Peridigm. The study is performed with a virtual double cantilever beam test. To verify the implementation the used energy release rate is virtually measured and compared with the input data. as convergence criteria the time and the load for the crack initiation are used.
