AbstractThe derivation of nonlocal strong forms for many physical problems remains cumbersome in traditional methods. In this paper, we apply the variational principle/weighted residual method based on nonlocal operator method for the derivation of nonlocal forms for elasticity, thin plate, gradient elasticity, electro-magneto-elasticity and phase-field fracture method. The nonlocal governing equations are expressed as an integral form on support and dual-support. The first example shows that the nonlocal elasticity has the same form as dual-horizon non-ordinary state-based peridynamics. The derivation is simple and general and it can convert efficiently many local physical models into their corresponding nonlocal forms. In addition, a criterion based on the instability of the nonlocal gradient is proposed for the fracture modelling in linear elasticity. Several numerical examples are presented to validate nonlocal elasticity and the nonlocal thin plate.

The yield strength of A533 grade B class 1 steel is relatively low. Dynamic fracture in test specimens and pressure vessels made with this material is generally accompanied by significant plastic flow over a large range of strain rates. Therefore, it is imperative to use viscoplastic constitutive equations in the analysis of dynamic fracture in A533B steel. This paper describes the characterization and modeling of the viscoplastic behavior of A533B steel using the Bodner-Partom model. Tensile tests were performed from −60°C to 175°C at strain rates ranging from 10−3 to 103. The tensile data were used to obtain material constants in the Bodner-Partom constitutive equations over this range of temperatures. Comparison of calculated and measured stress-strain curves showed good agreement, validating the model and the procedures for determining the model constants. The use of the Bodner-Partom model for dynamic fracture modeling is then discussed.
