A full orthotropic micropolar peridynamic formulation for linearly elastic solids

An original full orthotropic model for in-plane linear elasticity is proposed in the micropolar peridynamic analysis framework. The analytical formulation is derived from the definition of a specific microelastic energy function for micropolar nonlocal lattices which allows to obtain, for the first time, an orthotropic bond-based model characterized by four independent elastic moduli. An important feature of the model is that the bond...
