Summary: The peridynamic theory is a nonlocal theory of continuum mechanics based on an integro-differential equation without spatial derivatives, which can be easily applied in the vicinity of cracks, where discontinuities in the displacement field occur. In this paper we give a survey on important analytical and numerical results and applications of the peridynamic theory.
