Wave propagation improvement in two-dimensional bond-based peridynamics model

Abstract

In this study, methods to mitigate anomalous wave propagation in 2-D Bond-Based Peridynamics (PD) are presented. Similarly to what happens in classical non-local models, an irregular wave transmission phenomenon occurs at high frequencies. This feature of the dynamic performance of PD, limits its potential applications. A minimization method based on the weighted residual point collocation is introduced to substantially extend the frequency range of wave motion modeling. The optimization problem, developed through inverse analysis, is set up by comparing exact and numerical dispersion curves and minimizing the error in the frequency-wavenumber domain. A significant improvement in the wave propagation simulation using Bond-Based PD is observed.
