Abstract

This work aims to provide a comprehensive treatment on how to enforce inhomogeneous local boundary conditions (BC) in nonlocal problems in 1D. In prior work, we have presented novel governing operators with homogeneous BC. Here, we extend the construction to inhomogeneous BC. The construction of the operators is inspired by peridynamics. The operators agree with the original peridynamic operator in the bulk of the domain and simultaneously enforce local Dirichlet or Neumann BC. We explain methodically how to construct forcing functions to enforce local BC and their relationship to initial values. We present exact solutions with both homogeneous and inhomogeneous BC and utilize the resulting error to verify numerical experiments. We explain the critical role of the Hilbert-Schmidt property in enforcing local BC rigorously. For the Neumann BC, we prescribe an interpolation strategy to find the appropriate value of the forcing function from its derivative. We also present numerical experiments with unknown solution and report the computed displacement and strain fields.
