Abstract
The non-local peridynamic theory describes the displacement field of a continuous body by the initial-value problem for an integro-differential equation that does not include any spatial derivative. The non-locality is determined by the so-called peridynamic horizon $\delta$ which is the radius of interaction between material points taken into account. Well-posedness and structural properties of the peridynamic equation of motion are established for the linear case corresponding to small relative displacements. Moreover the limit behavior as $\delta \rightarrow 0$ is studied.
