Mixed-mode stress intensity factors evaluation of flat shells under in-plane loading employing ordinary state-based peridynamics

A recently developed peridynamic (PD) shell model based on the ordinary state-based peridynamic theory is adopted to evaluate stress intensity factors (SIFs) under in-plane loading. Strain and stress components are obtained by introducing the peridynamic differential operator. In order to evaluate mixed-mode SIFs, the domain form of the interaction integral is employed. The adaptive dynamic relaxation technique is utilized to obtain steady-state...
