Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are widely used in several strategic industrial sectors, such as defense, aerospace, nuclear power plants, space exploration, being the main source of technological progress in the others, for example machining. In this communication, we use meshless method that is peridynamics for simulation of impact of a sample. Peridynamics is a non-local, meshless quite recently formulated method of stress analysis. Nonlocal methods were developed for crystal analysis [1], [2]. The nonlocal methods were generalized on the coupled problems in [3]. The peridynamics was formulated for the first time by Silling [4, 5].
