This is a preprint that of an article that will appear in J. Mech. Phys. Solids. (doi: 10.1016/j.jmps.2009.10.008).  Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics for bulk materials and nanostructures,
by Kaushik Dayal and Richard D. James

Abstract 

We study the kinetics of phase transformations in solids using the peridynamic formulation of continuum mechanics. The peridynamic theory is a nonlocal formulation that does not involve spatial derivatives, and is a powerful tool to study defects such as cracks and interfaces.
