A novel surface correction method is proposed for bond-based peridynamics which ensures energy consistency with a classical reference body for general affine deformations. This method is validated for simple geometries and then applied to a typical surface-dominated problem, namely the indentation of a surface in the shallow to moderate-depth regime.
