Abstract :
In this paper, different spatial discretisation methods for solving the peridynamic equation of motion are suggested. Based upon the Gau\ss-Hermite quadrature, the composite midpoint rule, and linear finite elements, respectively, the integral over the spatial domain appearing in the governing partial integro-differential equation is approximated. The methods proposed are tested for a homogeneous, linear microelastic, pairwise equilibrated material of infinite length in one spatial dimension with a particular micromodulus function and initial displacement field whereas the velocity initially is zero. The different approaches are compared with respect to the error between the numerical and the exact solution. Moreover, the conservation of the total energy is studied. It is proved that general quadrature formula and Galerkin methods conserve the discrete total energy if the external forces are autonomous. This is justified by numerical experiments.
