CabanaPD

Peridynamics with the Cabana library

Dependencies

CabanaPD has the following dependencies:

Dependency	Version	Required	Details
CMake	3.11+	Yes	Build system
Cabana	f99c7db9	Yes	Performance portable particle algorithms
GTest	1.10+	No	Unit test framework

Cabana must be built with the following in order to work with CabanaPD:

Cabana Dependency	Version	Required	Details
CMake	3.16+	Yes	Build system
MPI	GPU-Aware if CUDA/HIP enabled	Yes	Message Passing Interface
Kokkos	3.7.0+	Yes	Performance portable on-node parallelism
HDF5	master	No	Particle output
SILO	master	No	Particle output

The underlying parallel programming models are available on most systems, as is CMake. Those must be installed first, if not available. Kokkos and Cabana are available on some systems or can be installed with spack (see https://spack.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html):

spack install cabana@master+grid+hdf5

Alternatively, Kokkos can be built locally, followed by Cabana: https://github.com/ECP-CoPA/Cabana/wiki/1-Build-Instructions

Build instructions are available for both CPU and GPU. Note that Cabana must be compiled with MPI and the Grid sub-package.

Obtaining CabanaPD

Clone the master branch:

git clone https://github.com/ORNL/CabanaPD.git

Build and install

CPU Build

After building Kokkos and Cabana for CPU, the following script will build and install CabanaPD:

#Change directory as needed
export CABANA_DIR=$HOME/Cabana/build/install

cd ./CabanaPD
mkdir build
cd build
pwd
cmake \
    -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$CABANA_DIR" \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=install \
    .. ;
make install

CUDA Build

After building Kokkos and Cabana for Cuda: https://github.com/ECP-CoPA/Cabana/wiki/Build-CUDA

The CUDA build script is identical to that above, but again note that Kokkos must be compiled with the CUDA backend.

Note that the same compiler should be used for Kokkos, Cabana, and CabanaPD.

HIP Build

After building Kokkos and Cabana for HIP: https://github.com/ECP-CoPA/Cabana/wiki/Build-HIP-and-SYCL#HIP

The HIP build script is identical to that above, except that hipcc compiler must be used:

-D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=hipcc

Note that hipcc should be used for Kokkos, Cabana, and CabanaPD.

Tests

Unit tests can be built by updating the CabanaPD CMake configuration in the script above with:

-D CabanaPD_ENABLE_TESTING=ON

GTest is required for CabanaPD unit tests, with build instructions here. If tests are enabled, you can run the CabanaPD unit test suite with:

cd CabanaPD/build
ctest

Features

CabanaPD currently includes the following:

• Force models
  • Bond-based (pairwise): prototype microelastic brittle (PMB)
  • State-based (many-body): linear peridynamic solid (LPS)
• Mechanical response:
  • Elastic (no failure)
  • Brittle fracture
• Thermomechanics (bond-based only)
  • Optional heat transfer (elastic only)
• Time integration
  • Velocity Verlet
• Pre-crack creation
• Particle boundary conditions
• Grid-based particle generation supporting custom geometry

Examples

Once built and installed, CabanaPD examples/ can be run. Timing and energy information is output to file and particle output is written to files (if enabled within Cabana) that can be visualized with Paraview and similar applications. New examples can be created by using any of the current cases as a template. All inputs are specified in the example JSON files within the relevant inputs/ subdirectory.

Mechanics

Examples which only include mechanics and fracture are with examples/mechanics.

The first example is an elastic wave propagating through a cube from an initial Gaussian radial displacement profile from [1]. Assuming the build paths above, the example can be run with:

./CabanaPD/build/install/bin/ElasticWave CabanaPD/examples/mechanics/inputs/elastic_wave.json

The second example is the Kalthoff-Winkler experiment [2], where an impactor causes crack propagation at an angle from two pre-notches on a steel plate. The example can be run with:

./CabanaPD/build/install/bin/KalthoffWinkler CabanaPD/examples/mechanics/inputs/kalthoff_winkler.json

The third example is crack branching in a pre-notched soda-lime glass plate due to traction loading [3]. The example can be run with:

./CabanaPD/build/install/bin/CrackBranching CabanaPD/examples/mechanics/inputs/crack_branching.json

The fourth example is a fragmenting cylinder due to internal pressure [4]. The example can be run with:

./CabanaPD/build/install/bin/FragmentingCylinder CabanaPD/examples/mechanics/inputs/fragmenting_cylinder.json

Thermomechanics

Examples which demonstrate temperature-dependent mechanics and fracture are with examples/thermomechanics.

The first example is thermoelastic deformation in a homogeneous plate due to linear thermal loading [5]. The example can be run with:

./CabanaPD/build/install/bin/ThermalDeformation CabanaPD/examples/thermomechanics/thermal_deformation.json

The second example is crack initiation and propagation in an alumina ceramic plate due to a thermal shock caused by water quenching [6]. The example can be run with:

./CabanaPD/build/install/bin/ThermalCrack CabanaPD/examples/thermomechanics/thermal_crack.json
