Abstract In this study a novel formulation of the discontinuous Galerkin method is derivedbased on peridynamic theory Derivation of the proposed formulation is presented Numericalanalysis are performed for 2D problems and results are compared to their respective knownexact solutions Numerical tests are performed at the incompressible limit The proposeddiscontinuous Galerkin formulation is found to be robust and successful in modelling elastostaticproblems

1 IntroductionModeling of discontinuities in solid mechanics such as shock waves and crack surfaces is one ofthe major research area in modeling the mechanical behavior of materials In these problemsthe degradation of numerical accuracy around the discontinuity affects the conservation ofenergy momentum and angular momentum In solid dynamics problems such as impact plasticdeformation and crack propagation problems the conservation of energy and momentum in thenumerical method are important

In recent years researchers have focused on conservative numerical methods Among thesenumerical methods the discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM) has been of interest to manyresearchers DGM is first proposed for the time integration of first order hyperbolic equationsfor the solution of the neutron transport problem in Ref [1] The time discontinuous Galerkin(TDG) method has also been used for the time integration of fluid flow and heat conductionproblems [2 3]

DGM allows for discontinuities at the element interfaces and it is therefore advantageousto use DGM for shock wave propagation problems in fluid mechanics Approximate Riemannfluxes are used for the calculation of interelement fluxes [3 4] More recently DGM has beendeveloped for the discretization of second order PDEs for the discretization of diffusive terms inNavier-Stokersquos equations [5 6]

Theoretical and numerical studies on modeling solid dynamics problems with discontinuitieswithin the variational framework goes back to 70rsquos [7 8] It is advantageous to use DGMfor shock wave and crack propagation problems as it allows for discontinuities at the elementinterfaces Another advantage of the DGM is that sudden changes in material properties areallowed at the element interfaces for layered materials Different formulations are proposed by

different researchers according to the problem of interest A mixed formulation is proposed formodeling discontinuities in Ref [7] A novel formulation is derived in Ref [8] and is used forthe modeling of shock wave propagation problems by a shock fitting [9] In solid mechanicsDGM has been begun to be used for time integration in elastodynamic problems [10] Recentstudies about DGM are on formulations with discontinuous displacement fields Consistencyof the displacement field at element interfaces plays a key role in the stability in theseformulations [11 12] A locking free DGM for the modelingof linear elastic materials is proposedin Ref [13] In this study the method of Nitsche [14] is reformulated and stabilization termswhich are for the consistency of displacements at element interfaces are added A nonsymmetricformulation proposed in Ref [5] for elliptic equations is derived for solid dynamics along withTDG for a space-time discontinuous as presented in Refs [15 16] The Bubnov-Galerkin methodis used in Ref [17] and in this study Godunov values calculated from neighboring elementsare used as target values at element interfaces The DGM proposed in Ref [18] for ellipticproblems is derived for linear elastostatics in Ref [19] which is generalized for nonlinear elasticproblems in Ref [20] The Hu-Washizu-de Veubeke functional is used for the derivation of DGMfor hyperelastic materials in [21] which is extended to non-linear solid dynamics problems in[22] A mixed formulation is proposed for linear elasticity in Ref [23] namely the hybridizablediscontinuous Galerkin method

Although the proposed formulations are consistent by means of displacement field numericalerror in the displacement field at element interfaces [20] is the drawback of these formulationsIn this study a novel formulation of the discontinuous Galerkin method based on peridynamictheory [24] is proposed for elastostatic problems A Single element connected to a rigid walland an in-plane loaded square problem are solved in order to determine the numerical propertiesof the proposed method

2 Equations of ElastostaticsIn this study we consider a linear elastic body occupying a space Ω sub Rd where d is the numberof dimensions The boundary of Ω is denoted by Γ ΓD and ΓN denote the subregions of Γwhere displacement and traction force are specified such that

Γ = ΓN

capΓD = empty (1)

The equilibrium equation for elastostatics can be written as follows

In the equation above σ is the Cauchy stress tensor and b represents the body forces per unitmassBoundary conditions can be defined as follows

σ middot n = t in ΓN u = u in ΓD

(3)

where t and u are the specified traction force and displacement respectivelyFor a linear elastic material the stress tensor can be defined as

σ = C nablau (4)

where C is the stiffness tensor

Ωe is partially continuous arc for two dimensional problems and partially continuous surfacefor three dimensional problems Γint defines the interelement boundary of any two adjacentelements and ΓI is the sum of interior boundaries such that

We define the broken space of trial functions Vn in which u(x) is smooth and continuous vectorfunction for every Ωe Similarly defined is the broken space of weighting functions Wn in whichw(x) is smooth and continuous vector function for every Ωe Elements of Vn and Wn arenon-zero vector functions in Ωe and zero elsewhere A typical solution domain in space is shownin Figure (1)Let x isin Γint xe = x minus ϵn and xnb = x + ϵn Note that ne = minusnnb = n where ne is the unitoutward vector of subdomain ΩeDifference and averaging operators can be defined for an arbitrary variable ϕ as follows

In Equation (8) tlowastn is the approximate traction force at the interface of two adjacent elements

31 Approximate Traction ForceDifferent from the previous formulations presented in the literature an approximate tractionforce based on the peridynamic theory [24] is proposed In peridynamic theory pairwise forcefunctions based on displacements similar to that in the atomistic models are used In this studypairwise force functions are used to calculate the approximate traction forces at interelementboundaries Therefore there is no need for additional terms to have consistent formulation inthe displacement fieldThe pairwise force function at point xi due to the xj is defined as

fij = fij(xj minus xiu(xj)minus u(xi)) (9)

such that

fij = minusfji (10)

The relation between the displacements and pairwise force is given in [25] for multidimensionalproblems as

f = C(ξ)(u(xj)minus u(xi)) (11)

In Equation (11) C(ξ) is the tensorial micromodulus and ξ = xj minus xiFor pairwise force function to satisfy Equation (10) the micromodulus function must be aneven function Additionally as the distance between interacting points increases the magnitudeof the pairwise force function must decrease Consequently the micromodulus function mustsatisfy the following conditions

C(ξ) rarr 0 as |ξ| rarr infinC(ξ) gt 0

(12)

We assume that only particles along the interelement boundaries between two neighboringelements interact with each other Thus we can use a micromodulus function for one dimensionalproblems In this study we use the micromodulus function proposed in Ref[26] given as

C(ξ) = 4E

δ3radicπeminus(|ξ|δ)2 (13)

In Equation (13) δ is the horizon which controls the nonlocal character of the micromodulus andE is the Youngrsquos modulus In this study the horizon is controlled by a non-locality parameternd such that δ = hfnd where hf is edge length of an elementThe approximate traction force tlowastn at point x isin Γe can be calculated as follows

5 Numerical ExamplesIn this section two different problems are solved in order to determine the numerical propertiesof the peridynamic discontinuous Galerkin method (PDGM) Results are compared to that ofnumerical results obtained from the symmetric discontinuous Galerkin method (SDGM) [13]and the nonsymmetric discontinuous Gakerkin method (NSDGM) [16]

L1 norm of the error at node 1 is shown in Figure (4) It is seen that error is consistentlydecreasing in all methods The order of error in PDGM is lower than NSDGM and SDGM inboth tension and shear loading When element size is unity the order of error in the case ofshear loading is 01 for both NSDGM and SDGM where as PDGM shows an improved resultof 001 The order of error decreases to 001 in NSDGM and SDM and 10minus3 in PDGM undertension

In Equation (8) tlowastn is the approximate traction force at the interface of two adjacent elements

31 Approximate Traction ForceDifferent from the previous formulations presented in the literature an approximate tractionforce based on the peridynamic theory [24] is proposed In peridynamic theory pairwise forcefunctions based on displacements similar to that in the atomistic models are used In this studypairwise force functions are used to calculate the approximate traction forces at interelementboundaries Therefore there is no need for additional terms to have consistent formulation inthe displacement fieldThe pairwise force function at point xi due to the xj is defined as

fij = fij(xj minus xiu(xj)minus u(xi)) (9)

such that

fij = minusfji (10)

The relation between the displacements and pairwise force is given in [25] for multidimensionalproblems as

f = C(ξ)(u(xj)minus u(xi)) (11)

In Equation (11) C(ξ) is the tensorial micromodulus and ξ = xj minus xiFor pairwise force function to satisfy Equation (10) the micromodulus function must be aneven function Additionally as the distance between interacting points increases the magnitudeof the pairwise force function must decrease Consequently the micromodulus function mustsatisfy the following conditions

C(ξ) rarr 0 as |ξ| rarr infinC(ξ) gt 0

(12)

We assume that only particles along the interelement boundaries between two neighboringelements interact with each other Thus we can use a micromodulus function for one dimensionalproblems In this study we use the micromodulus function proposed in Ref[26] given as

C(ξ) = 4E

δ3radicπeminus(|ξ|δ)2 (13)

In Equation (13) δ is the horizon which controls the nonlocal character of the micromodulus andE is the Youngrsquos modulus In this study the horizon is controlled by a non-locality parameternd such that δ = hfnd where hf is edge length of an elementThe approximate traction force tlowastn at point x isin Γe can be calculated as follows

6 ConclusionIn this study a novel DGM formulation is derived based on peridynamic theory Error iscalculated for a single element connected to a rigid wall and in-plane loaded square domainIt is seen that for most cases PDGM is robust and more accurate Additionally jumpsin displacement due to the weak enforcement of continuity are not severe as SDGM andNSDGM The convergence rate is higher than that for NSDGM and SDGM PDGM posesmore accurate results compared to the SDGM and NSDGM Further analysis will be performedin order to investigate the effectiveness of presented formulation on the solution of problemswith discontinuities

Ωe is partially continuous arc for two dimensional problems and partially continuous surfacefor three dimensional problems Γint defines the interelement boundary of any two adjacentelements and ΓI is the sum of interior boundaries such that

In Equation (8) tlowastn is the approximate traction force at the interface of two adjacent elements

31 Approximate Traction ForceDifferent from the previous formulations presented in the literature an approximate tractionforce based on the peridynamic theory [24] is proposed In peridynamic theory pairwise forcefunctions based on displacements similar to that in the atomistic models are used In this studypairwise force functions are used to calculate the approximate traction forces at interelementboundaries Therefore there is no need for additional terms to have consistent formulation inthe displacement fieldThe pairwise force function at point xi due to the xj is defined as

fij = fij(xj minus xiu(xj)minus u(xi)) (9)

such that

fij = minusfji (10)

The relation between the displacements and pairwise force is given in [25] for multidimensionalproblems as

f = C(ξ)(u(xj)minus u(xi)) (11)

In Equation (11) C(ξ) is the tensorial micromodulus and ξ = xj minus xiFor pairwise force function to satisfy Equation (10) the micromodulus function must be aneven function Additionally as the distance between interacting points increases the magnitudeof the pairwise force function must decrease Consequently the micromodulus function mustsatisfy the following conditions

C(ξ) rarr 0 as |ξ| rarr infinC(ξ) gt 0

(12)

We assume that only particles along the interelement boundaries between two neighboringelements interact with each other Thus we can use a micromodulus function for one dimensionalproblems In this study we use the micromodulus function proposed in Ref[26] given as

C(ξ) = 4E

δ3radicπeminus(|ξ|δ)2 (13)

In Equation (13) δ is the horizon which controls the nonlocal character of the micromodulus andE is the Youngrsquos modulus In this study the horizon is controlled by a non-locality parameternd such that δ = hfnd where hf is edge length of an elementThe approximate traction force tlowastn at point x isin Γe can be calculated as follows

In Equation (8) tlowastn is the approximate traction force at the interface of two adjacent elements

31 Approximate Traction ForceDifferent from the previous formulations presented in the literature an approximate tractionforce based on the peridynamic theory [24] is proposed In peridynamic theory pairwise forcefunctions based on displacements similar to that in the atomistic models are used In this studypairwise force functions are used to calculate the approximate traction forces at interelementboundaries Therefore there is no need for additional terms to have consistent formulation inthe displacement fieldThe pairwise force function at point xi due to the xj is defined as

fij = fij(xj minus xiu(xj)minus u(xi)) (9)

such that

fij = minusfji (10)

The relation between the displacements and pairwise force is given in [25] for multidimensionalproblems as

f = C(ξ)(u(xj)minus u(xi)) (11)

In Equation (11) C(ξ) is the tensorial micromodulus and ξ = xj minus xiFor pairwise force function to satisfy Equation (10) the micromodulus function must be aneven function Additionally as the distance between interacting points increases the magnitudeof the pairwise force function must decrease Consequently the micromodulus function mustsatisfy the following conditions

C(ξ) rarr 0 as |ξ| rarr infinC(ξ) gt 0

(12)

We assume that only particles along the interelement boundaries between two neighboringelements interact with each other Thus we can use a micromodulus function for one dimensionalproblems In this study we use the micromodulus function proposed in Ref[26] given as

C(ξ) = 4E

δ3radicπeminus(|ξ|δ)2 (13)

In Equation (13) δ is the horizon which controls the nonlocal character of the micromodulus andE is the Youngrsquos modulus In this study the horizon is controlled by a non-locality parameternd such that δ = hfnd where hf is edge length of an elementThe approximate traction force tlowastn at point x isin Γe can be calculated as follows

5 Numerical ExamplesIn this section two different problems are solved in order to determine the numerical propertiesof the peridynamic discontinuous Galerkin method (PDGM) Results are compared to that ofnumerical results obtained from the symmetric discontinuous Galerkin method (SDGM) [13]and the nonsymmetric discontinuous Gakerkin method (NSDGM) [16]

51 Single Element Connected To a Rigid WallIn this example a single element connected to a rigid wall under tension and shear loads isstudied The geometryof the problems are shown in Figure (3) Solution is obtained as aparameter of the element edge length h in order to determine the effect of the PDGM oncharacteristic element behavior Bilinear basis functions are used Youngrsquos modulus E is 1 Nm2

and Poissonrsquos ratio ν is 03

Figure 3 Loading conditions of single element connected to a rigid wall

L1 norm of the error at node 1 is shown in Figure (4) It is seen that error is consistentlydecreasing in all methods The order of error in PDGM is lower than NSDGM and SDGM inboth tension and shear loading When element size is unity the order of error in the case ofshear loading is 01 for both NSDGM and SDGM where as PDGM shows an improved resultof 001 The order of error decreases to 001 in NSDGM and SDM and 10minus3 in PDGM undertension

52 In-Plane Loaded SquareIn-plane loaded square with dirichlet boundary conditions is solved using plane strain conditionswhich is shown in Figure (5) Body forces per unit volume are given by Equation (20) and areapplied to obtain the displacement field given in Equation (19) Triangular and quadrilateralelements are used with linear and bilinear basis functions respectively Each side of the domainis divided into 2 4 8 16 and 32 elements Meshes with 16times16 elements are shown in Figure (6)Young modulus is taken as E = 1 Nm2

parameter nd does not change the result significantly for both types of grids The error in PDGMis higher than NSDGM and SDGM for courser grids when triangular elements are used As thegrid is refined the error in PDGM becomes lower than NSDGM and SDGM In the case of thequadrilateral grid the error in NSDGM is lower than that for PDGM and SDGM In additionas the grid is refined it is seen that convergence rate decreases below 2 for both in PDGM andSDGM

The sum of jumps in displacement at the element interfaces are shown as a measure ofnumerical consistency at the element interfaces in Figure (8) The sum of jumps in displacementis almost identical and independent of the penalty parameter γ in SDGM and NSDGM whenthe grids with triangular elements are used The sum of jumps in displacement decreases withthe increase in non-locality parameter nd in PDGM In addition it is three orders of magnitudelower in PDGM than in NSDGM and SDGM Though there are differences in sum of jumps indisplacement in SDGM and NSDGM results obtained for PDGM are still lower than the twopreceding methods

and Poissonrsquos ratio ν is 03

L1 norm of the error at node 1 is shown in Figure (4) It is seen that error is consistentlydecreasing in all methods The order of error in PDGM is lower than NSDGM and SDGM inboth tension and shear loading When element size is unity the order of error in the case ofshear loading is 01 for both NSDGM and SDGM where as PDGM shows an improved resultof 001 The order of error decreases to 001 in NSDGM and SDM and 10minus3 in PDGM undertension

52 In-Plane Loaded SquareIn-plane loaded square with dirichlet boundary conditions is solved using plane strain conditionswhich is shown in Figure (5) Body forces per unit volume are given by Equation (20) and areapplied to obtain the displacement field given in Equation (19) Triangular and quadrilateralelements are used with linear and bilinear basis functions respectively Each side of the domainis divided into 2 4 8 16 and 32 elements Meshes with 16times16 elements are shown in Figure (6)Young modulus is taken as E = 1 Nm2

parameter nd does not change the result significantly for both types of grids The error in PDGMis higher than NSDGM and SDGM for courser grids when triangular elements are used As thegrid is refined the error in PDGM becomes lower than NSDGM and SDGM In the case of thequadrilateral grid the error in NSDGM is lower than that for PDGM and SDGM In additionas the grid is refined it is seen that convergence rate decreases below 2 for both in PDGM andSDGM

The sum of jumps in displacement at the element interfaces are shown as a measure ofnumerical consistency at the element interfaces in Figure (8) The sum of jumps in displacementis almost identical and independent of the penalty parameter γ in SDGM and NSDGM whenthe grids with triangular elements are used The sum of jumps in displacement decreases withthe increase in non-locality parameter nd in PDGM In addition it is three orders of magnitudelower in PDGM than in NSDGM and SDGM Though there are differences in sum of jumps indisplacement in SDGM and NSDGM results obtained for PDGM are still lower than the twopreceding methods

parameter nd does not change the result significantly for both types of grids The error in PDGMis higher than NSDGM and SDGM for courser grids when triangular elements are used As thegrid is refined the error in PDGM becomes lower than NSDGM and SDGM In the case of thequadrilateral grid the error in NSDGM is lower than that for PDGM and SDGM In additionas the grid is refined it is seen that convergence rate decreases below 2 for both in PDGM andSDGM

The sum of jumps in displacement at the element interfaces are shown as a measure ofnumerical consistency at the element interfaces in Figure (8) The sum of jumps in displacementis almost identical and independent of the penalty parameter γ in SDGM and NSDGM whenthe grids with triangular elements are used The sum of jumps in displacement decreases withthe increase in non-locality parameter nd in PDGM In addition it is three orders of magnitudelower in PDGM than in NSDGM and SDGM Though there are differences in sum of jumps indisplacement in SDGM and NSDGM results obtained for PDGM are still lower than the twopreceding methods

6 ConclusionIn this study a novel DGM formulation is derived based on peridynamic theory Error iscalculated for a single element connected to a rigid wall and in-plane loaded square domainIt is seen that for most cases PDGM is robust and more accurate Additionally jumpsin displacement due to the weak enforcement of continuity are not severe as SDGM andNSDGM The convergence rate is higher than that for NSDGM and SDGM PDGM posesmore accurate results compared to the SDGM and NSDGM Further analysis will be performedin order to investigate the effectiveness of presented formulation on the solution of problemswith discontinuities
