Stochastically homogenized peridynamic model for dynamic fracture analysis of concrete

Dynamic compact tension tests in concrete are investigated using an intermediately-homogenized peridynamic (IH-PD) model, and the results are compared with a fully-homogenized peridynamic (FH-PD) model as well as with experimental data from the literature. In the IH-PD model, concrete is considered as a two-phase material composed of aggregate and mortar, partially homogenized via a stochastic procedure. Both the FH and IH-PD models capture well...
