Abstract

Diffusion modeling is essential in understanding many physical phenomena such as heat transfer, moisture concentration, electrical conductivity, etc. In the presence of material and geometric discontinuities, and non-local effects, a non-local continuum approach, named as peridynamics, can be advantageous over the traditional local approaches. Peridynamics is based on integro-differential equations without including any spatial derivatives. In general, these equations are solved numerically by employing meshless discretization techniques. Although fundamentally different, commercial finite element software can be a suitable platform for peridynamic simulations which may result in several computational benefits. Hence, this study presents the peridynamic diffusion modeling and implementation procedure in a widely used commercial finite element analysis software, ANSYS. The accuracy and capability
of this approach is demonstrated by considering several benchmark problems.
