The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $256,113 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Federal Grant Program to the University of Tennessee (UT). The grant, awarded on August 1, 2025, aims to develop mathematical techniques for analyzing nonlocal models, which have proven effective in modeling complex natural, scientific, and engineering phenomena such as material fractures and anomalous diffusion processes. The research activities will enhance the effectiveness of these nonlocal models, including the peridynamic model, and ensure more quantitative and reliable future modeling and simulation efforts. Additionally, the project offers valuable training opportunities for students and young researchers in interdisciplinary areas. The research presents significant technical challenges and will advance knowledge by adapting standard classical tools to the nonstandard nonlocal setting. The rigorous variational analysis and mathematical frameworks developed through this grant will significantly impact the creation of effective and reliable finite element methods and other numerical schemes for solving complex engineering problems using enhanced peridynamics models.
