The review of the bond-based peridynamics modeling

Peridynamics theory is a nonlocal meshless method that replaces differential equations with spatial integral equations, and has shown good applicability and reliability in the analysis of discontinuities. Further, with characteristics of clear physical meaning and simple and reliable numerical calculation, the bond-based peridynamics method has been widely applied in the field. However, this method describes the interaction between material points simply using a single elastic “spring”, and thus leads to a fixed Poisson’s ratio, relatively low computational efficiency and other inherent problems. As such, the goal of this review paper is to provide a summary of the various methods of bond-based peridynamics modeling, particularly those that have overcome the limitations of the Poisson’s ratio, considered the shear deformation and modeling of two-dimensional thin plates for bending and three-dimensional anisotropic composites, as well as explored coupling with finite element methods. This review will deter...
