This book introduces a unified implementation of bond- and state-based peridynamic theory (PD) within a commercial finite element framework, Ansys, utilizing its native elements. It details the implementation of the PD theory and its integration with traditional finite elements. The primary objective is to equip students, researchers, and practicing engineers with both theoretical and practical knowledge of the PD theory, along with the skills necessary for analyzing engineering problems using Ansys.The book demonstrates that, unlike the conventional finite element method (FEM), the PD theory is highly suitable for progressive failure analysis, the multi-scale analysis of materials involving fracture and failure, and multi-physics analysis, including electromigration, corrosion, and electrodeposition. Additionally, it provides a step-by-step illustration of the specific procedures in the pre-processing, solution, and post-processing phases of the analysis through the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for various applications.The book is designed to be introductory and self-contained, minimizing the need for additional reference material.
