The correspondence approach is a powerful technique that permits the usage of standard constitutive models from local theory within a peridynamic formulation. However, the conventional correspondence formulation suffers from material instability, ie, zero-energy modes, which must be controlled for it to be applied in practice. The recently-introduced correspondence reformulation based on the use of a bond-associated deformation gradient can inherently remove the material instability. In this paper, we show how the bond-associated correspondence model satisfies the requirement for material stability. The convergence behavior is also examined. The accuracy of this approach is further demonstrated by comparing model predictions against local reference solutions and results from the conventional correspondence model with penalty stabilization for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
