## On the well-posedness of the linear peridynamic model and its convergence towards the Navier equation of linear elasticity.(English)Zbl 1133.35098

Summary: The non-local peridynamic theory describes the displacement field of a continuous body by the initial-value problem for an integro-differential equation that does not include any spatial derivative. The non-locality is determined by the so-called peridynamic horizon $$\delta$$ which is the radius of interaction between material points taken into account
Well-posedness and structural properties of the peridynamic equation of motion are established for the linear case corresponding to small relative displacements. Moreover the limit behaviour as $$\delta \rightarrow 0$$ is studied.
