Abstract

The bond-based peridynamics and its extended forms are widely used for crack predicting in many materials like concrete. In peridynamics, as for the bond failure, the tensile failure criterion or tensile-compression failure criterion are commonly applied, the combined tensile-shear or compression-shear failure are rarely considered. In this paper, a Cosserat peridynamic model with a novel bond failure criterion (CPD-BP) is proposed for concrete fracture simulation. The peridynamic bond failure criterion is derived from the Bresler–Pister criterion, with which the composite bond failure can be considered properly. Besides, the Cosserat parameters which relate to microstructures of concrete are introduced. Three benchmarks are designed: simple tensile, direct shear, and compression tests. Results show that the CPD-BP can simulate the combined tensile-shear and compressive-shear concrete failure. Crack patterns predicted by CPD-BP generally follow particle flow code in two dimensions results and physical experiments. The larger Cosserat shear modulus will enhance the shear effects.
