Abstract
The governing equation of linear peridynamics is developed for the most general anisotropic materials (triclinic materials). As a departure from the standard peridynamic theory, the linear constitutive equation in the form of a micromodulus is determined by directly requiring the resulting peridynamic equation to converge to a comparable classical elastodynamic equation for a triclinic material as the generalized material horizon approaches zero. As a result, a new peridynamic governing equation is obtained for triclinic peridynamic materials. As an application of the newly obtained peridynamic equation, a plane wave solution is analytically obtained and discussed, and dispersion curves are plotted for triclinic peridynamic materials.
