We distinguish between one-neighbour, two-neighbour and three-neighbour interactions. One-neighbour interactions are equivalent to the bond-based interactions of the original PD formalism. However, two- and three-neighbour interactions are fundamentally different to state-based interactions, as the basic elements of continuum kinematics are preserved exactly. We investigate the consequences of the angular momentum balance and provide a set of appropriate arguments for the interaction potentials accordingly. Furthermore, we elaborate on restrictions on the interaction energies and derive dissipation-consistent constitutive laws through a Coleman–Noll-like procedure. Although the framework is suitable for finite deformations, an additive decomposition of the kinematic quantities into elastic and plastic parts is rigorously proven to be a correct choice. Crucially, in our proposed scheme, the elasto-plastic framework resembles standard one-dimensional plasticity, for all interactions. Finally, we demonstrate the capability of our proposed framework via a series of numerical examples.EnglishPeridynamicsContinuum kinematicsElasto-plasticityArticle10.1016/j.cma.2021.113809
