Version v1.3.6 - PeriLab - Peridynamic Laboratory

This paper introduces new features for PeriLab , a modern Peridynamics (PD) solver developed in the Julia programming language. Emphasizing ease of installation, usability, and extensibility, the code’s structure is presented alongside illustrative examples that demonstrate key functionalities. The main additions in version v1.3.6 are the introduction of a static solver and the coupling between Finite Element Method (FEM) and PD. These features are described in detail within the paper, enabling researchers to address fundamental questions in the field of PD. The static solver is based on Anderson acceleration and does not require gradient information. As a result, it is particularly well-suited for large-scale problems, offering improved computational efficiency.
