The PD theory provides deformation, as well as damage initiation and growth, without resorting to external criteria since material failure is invoked in the material response. However, it is computationally more demanding compared to the finite element method. Furthermore, the finite element method is very effective for modeling problems without damage. Hence, it is desirable to couple the PD theory and FEM to take advantage of their salient features if the regions of potential failure sites are identified prior to the analysis. Then, the regions in which failure is expected can be modeled by using the PD theory and the rest can be analyzed by using FEM.
