The applicability of peridynamic models to problems with irregular non-uniformly discretized solution domain is critical. In this study, a systematic comparison study on results predicted by eight peridynamic models, including bond-based, ordinary state-based and non-ordinary state-based mechanics and heat conduction models, for three different types of problems, including thermal, mechanical and coupled thermo-mechanical, with irregular spatial discretization are performed. It’s found that for the case of irregular but semi-uniform spatial discretization, all these models yield good predictions compared to analytical local solutions. For the case of irregular and non-uniform spatial discretization, models formulated specifically for this configuration give much better results than the conventional formulations which don’t consider the neighborhood difference among material points in the spatial discretization. As a result for either cases of spatial discretization, the bond-associated correspondence material model predicts the most accurate results.
