A peridynamics elastoplastic model with isotropic and kinematic hardening for static problems

Abstract. This study proposes a formulation equivalent to J2 plasticity with the associated flow rule to simulate the elastoplastic behavior of materials with isotropic or kinematic hardening in a peridynamic framework. The capabilities of the developed formulation are analysed through 2D and 3D case studies whose results (displacement and stress field) are compared with those obtained from the corresponding FEM models.
