Study of computational peridynamics, explicit and implicit time integration, viscoelastic material

This study will focus on the creation of a computationally efficient peridynamic solu- tion code using the C++ programming language and will compare the performance of said code with a similar solution obtained using a code writeen in MATLAB. Furthermore an implicit time integration scheme will be devised and it's perfor- mance will be tested against the already existing explicit time integration solution. A formulation for a viscoelastic peridynamic material will be investigated
