Nonlocal gradient operators are basic elements of nonlocal vector calculus that play important roles in nonlocal modeling and analysis. In this work, we extend earlier analysis on nonlocal gradient operators. In particular, we study a nonlocal Dirichlet integral that is given by a quadratic energy functional based on nonlocal gradients. Our main finding, which differs from claims made in previous studies, is that the coercivity and stability of this nonlocal continuum energy functional may hold for some properly chosen nonlocal interaction kernels but may fail for some other ones. This can be significant for possible applications of nonlocal gradient operators in various nonlocal models. In particular, we discuss some important implications for the peridynamic correspondence material models.

We present a generic technique, automated by computer-algebra systems and available as open-source software cite{scuff-em}, for efficient numerical evaluation of a large family of singular and nonsingular 4-dimensional integrals over triangle-product domains, such as those arising in the boundary-element method (BEM) of computational electromagnetism. To date, practical implementation of BEM solvers has often required the aggregation of multiple disparate integral-evaluation schemes to treat all of the distinct types of integrals needed for a given BEM formulation; in contrast, our technique allows many different types of integrals to be handled by the emph{same} algorithm and the same code implementation. Our method is a significant generalization of the Taylor--Duffy approach cite{Taylor2003,Duffy1982}, which was originally presented for just a single type of integrand; in addition to generalizing this technique to a broad class of integrands, we also achieve a significant improvement in its efficiency by showing how the emph{dimension} of the final numerical integral may often be reduced by one. In particular, if $n$ is the number of common vertices between the two triangles, in many cases we can reduce the dimension of the integral from $4-n$ to $3-n$, obtaining a closed-form analytical result for $n=3$ (the common-triangle case).
The overarching goal of this work is to develop an accurate, robust, and stable methodology for finite deformation modeling using strong-form peridynamics (PD) and the correspondence modeling framework. We adopt recently developed methods that make u se of higher-order corrections to improve the computation of integrals in the correspondence formulation. A unified approach is presented that incorporates the reproducing kernel (RK) and generalized moving least square (GMLS) approximations in PD to obtain higher-order gradients. We show, however, that the improved quadrature rule does not suffice to handle correspondence-modeling instability issues. In Part I of this paper, a bond-associative, higher-order core formulation is developed that naturally provides stability. Numerical examples are provided to study the convergence of RK-PD, GMLS-PD, and their bond-associat
In this work, we make two improvements on the staggered grid hydrodynamics (SGH) Lagrangian scheme for modeling 2-dimensional compressible multi-material flows on triangular mesh. The first improvement is the construction of a dynamic local remeshing scheme for preventing mesh distortion. The remeshing scheme is similar to many published algorithms except that it introduces some special operations for treating grids around multi-material interfaces. This makes the simulation of extremely deforming and topology-variable multi-material processes possible, such as the complete process of a heavy fluid dipping into a light fluid. The second improvement is the construction of an Euler-like flow on each edge of the mesh to count for the edge-bending effect, so as to mitigate the checkerboard oscillation that commonly exists in Lagrangian simulations, especially the triangular mesh based simulations. Several typical hydrodynamic problems are simulated by the improved staggered grid Lagrangian hydrodynamic method to test its performance.

As a nonlocal extension of continuum mechanics, peridynamics has been widely and effectively applied in different fields where discontinuities in the field variables arise from an initially continuous body. An important component of the constitutive model in peridynamics is the influence function which weights the contribution of all the interactions over a nonlocal region surrounding a point of interest. Recent work has shown that in solid mechanics the influence function has a strong relationship with the heterogeneity of a materials micro-structure. However, determining an accurate influence function analytically from a given micro-structure typically requires lengthy derivations and complex mathematical models. To avoid these complexities, the goal of this paper is to develop a data-driven regression algorithm to find the optimal bond-based peridynamic model to describe the macro-scale deformation of linear elastic medium with periodic heterogeneity. We generate macro-scale deformation training data by averaging over periodic micro-structure unit cells and add a physical energy constraint representing the homogenized elastic modulus of the micro-structure to the regression algorithm. We demonstrate this scheme for examples of one- and two-dimensional linear elastodynamics and show that the energy constraint improves the accuracy of the resulting peridynamic model.
