Abstract: Nonlocal models provide accurate representations of physical phenomena ranging from fracture mechanics to complex subsurface flows, where traditional partial differential equations fail to capture effects caused by long-range forces at the microscale and mesoscale. However, the application of nonlocal models to problems involving interfaces such as multimaterial simulations and fluid-structure interaction, is hampered by the lack of a rigorous nonlocal interface theory needed to support numerical developments. In this paper, we use an energy-based approach to develop a mathematically rigorous nonlocal interface theory which provides a physically consistent extension of the classical perfect interface PDE formulation. Numerical examples validate the proposed framework and demonstrate the scope of our theory.
