Worked on the uwsbel/chrono-wisc repository to enhance the reliability of peridynamics simulations by addressing a critical issue in the core simulation loop. Focused on correcting the removal of cracked bonds during iteration, the solution prevented data structure corruption and ensured accurate iteration behavior. Using C++ and applying knowledge of numerical methods and simulation, the developer implemented a stability fix that improved both the accuracy and maintainability of the simulation codebase. This targeted bug fix reduced the risk of rework due to corrupted bonds and increased confidence in simulation results, contributing to a more robust and dependable simulation framework.
