Abstract

An ordinary state-based peridynamic (PD) model based on the Mindlin plate theory is presented to deal with fracture mechanics problems. Static and dynamic stress resultant intensity factors regarded as the primary fracture parameters for plate structures are evaluated by the displacement extrapolation method. Owing to the PD surface effect, however, the accuracy of the displacement field near crack surfaces is significantly affected. Therefore, the arbitrary horizon domain method is adopted to correct the surface effect. It derives the variable PD parameters to properly describe mechanical behaviors for each material point. Several numerical examples are investigated to examine the performance of the presented method. It indicates that the PD Mindlin plate model incorporated with the arbitrary horizon domain method validly minimizes the influence of the PD surface effect and provides an effective approach to evaluate static and dynamic moment intensity factors.
