Abstract
The paper presents a new and simple way to couple FEM meshes to Peridynamic grids with different grid sizes. The excellent performance of the coupling technique is illustrated by means of 2D examples involving rigid body motions, uniform strain conditions and a case of crack branching. The method paves the way to an increased use of peridynamics within FEM software.
