<p>The peridynamic pair styles implement material models that can be used
at the mescscopic and macroscopic scales. See <a class="reference external" href="PDF/PDLammps_overview.pdf">this document</a> for an overview of LAMMPS commands
for Peridynamics modeling.</p>
<p>Style <em>peri/pmb</em> implements the Peridynamic bond-based prototype
microelastic brittle (PMB) model.</p>
<p>Style <em>peri/lps</em> implements the Peridynamic state-based linear
peridynamic solid (LPS) model.</p>
<p>Style <em>peri/ves</em> implements the Peridynamic state-based linear
peridynamic viscoelastic solid (VES) model.</p>
<p>Style <em>peri/eps</em> implements the Peridynamic state-based elastic-plastic
solid (EPS) model.</p>

and <a class="reference internal" href="#silling2007"><span class="std std-ref">(Silling 2007)</span></a>. The implementation of Peridynamics
in LAMMPS is described in <a class="reference internal" href="#parks"><span class="std std-ref">(Parks)</span></a>. Also see the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.sandia.gov/~mlparks/papers/PDLAMMPS.pdf">PDLAMMPS user guide</a> for
more details about its implementation.</p>
<p>The peridynamic VES and EPS models in PDLAMMPS were implemented by
R. Rahman and J. T. Foster at University of Texas at San Antonio. The
original VES formulation is described in “(Mitchell2011)” and the
original EPS formulation is in “(Mitchell2011a)”. Additional PDF docs
that describe the VES and EPS implementations are include in the
LAMMPS distro in <a class="reference external" href="PDF/PDLammps_VES.pdf">doc/PDF/PDLammps_VES.pdf</a> and
<a class="reference external" href="PDF/PDLammps_EPS.pdf">doc/PDF/PDLammps_EPS.pdf</a>. For questions
regarding the VES and EPS models in LAMMPS you can contact R. Rahman
(rezwanur.rahman at utsa.edu).</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atom types
via the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><span class="doc">pair_coeff</span></a> command as in the examples above,
<p>These pair styles do not support mixing. Thus, coefficients for all
I,J pairs must be specified explicitly.</p>
<p>These pair styles do not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a>
shift option.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a> table and tail options are not
relevant for these pair styles.</p>
<p>These pair styles write their information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.</p>
<p>These pair styles can only be used via the <em>pair</em> keyword of the
<a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><span class="doc">run_style respa</span></a> command. They do not support the
