This contribution presents a concept to dynamic fracture with continuum-kinematics-based peridynamics. Continuum-kinematics-based peridynamics is a geometrically exact formulation of peridynamics, which adds surface- or volumetric-based interactions to the classical peridynamic bonds, thus capturing the finite deformation kinematics correctly. The surfaces and volumes considered for these non-local interactions are constructed using the point families derived from the material points' horizon. For fracture, the classical bond-stretch damage approach is not sufficient in continuum-kinematics-based peridynamics. Here it is extended to the surface- and volume-based interactions by additional failure variables considering the loss of strength in the material points' internal force densities. By numerical examples, it is shown that the approach can correctly handle crack growth, impact damage, and spontaneous crack initiation under dynamic loading conditions with large deformations.
