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
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
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

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
