Nonlocal modeling has come a long way. Researchers in the continuum mechanics and computational mechanics communities increasingly recognize that nonlocality is critical in realistic mathematical models of many aspects of the physical world. Physical interaction over a finite distance is fundamental at the atomic and nanoscale level, in which atoms and molecules interact through multibody potentials. Long-range forces partially determine the mechanics of surfaces and the behavior of dissolved molecules and suspended particles in a fluid. Nonlocality is therefore a vital feature of any continuum model that represents these physical systems at small length scales.
