SUMMARY A Lagrangian numerical approach for the simulation of rapid landslide runouts is
presented and discussed. The simulation approach is based on the so‐called Particle Finite …

Using the three-dimensional discrete element method, we numerically investigate the
collapse dynamics and deposition morphology of low-viscocohesive granular columns on a …

Recent advances in satellite technologies, statistical and mathematical models, and
computational resources have paved the way for operational use of satellite data in …

The gravitational flows of granular materials are omnipresent in industrial processes such as
handling and transportation of material and in natural events such as landslides, rock and …

In present paper, we analyze the dynamics of a single-block model on an inclined slope with
Dieterich–Ruina friction law under the variation of two new introduced parameters: time …

We present a three-dimensional model of rain-induced landslides, based on cohesive
spherical particles. The rainwater infiltration into the soil follows either the fractional or the …

We propose a two-dimensional computational model for deep landslides triggered by
rainfall, based on interacting particles or grains. The model describes a vertical section of a …

In view of the fact that the molecular dynamics (MD) method is similar to the discrete element
method (DEM), which is suitable to model granular material and to observe the trajectory …

From the microperspective, this paper presents a model based on a new type of
noncontinuous theoretical mechanical method, molecular dynamics (MD), to simulate the …

The assessment of landslide hazard has become a topic of major interest not only for
geoscientists and engineers but also for the community and the local administrations, in Italy …
