What is peridynamics?

Peridynamics is a non-local formulation of continuum mechanics where material points represent the continuum, and the relative displacements and forces are governed by an integro-differential equation that allows discontinuities. As a result, peridynamics is particularly well-suited for dynamic fracture simulations involving numerous cracks.

Who can benefit from this package?

This package is designed for anyone interested in performing peridynamics simulations. While the current feature set provides a solid foundation, we are continuously working to enhance and expand the capabilities of Peridynamics.jl. We encourage you to open an issue or submit a pull request to share your feedback or contribute to making this package even more valuable to the community!
