We present novel governing operators in the theory of peridynamics (PD) which will
allow the extension of PD to applications that require local boundary conditions
(BC). Due to its nonlocal nature, the original PD governing operator uses nonlocal
BC. The novel operators agree with the original PD operator in the bulk of the
domain and simultaneously enforce local Dirichlet or Neumann BC. Our construction
is straightforward and easily accessible. The main ingredients are antiperiodic and
periodic extensions of kernel functions together with even and odd parts of functions.
We also present governing operators that enforce antiperiodic and periodic BC and
the corresponding compatibility conditions for the right-hand side function in a given
operator equation. Finally, we present the basic idea in extending the 1D
construction to 2D.
