It has been 25 years since Sulsky and her coworkers developed the first version of the
material point method (MPM): a quasi particle method to solve continuum mechanics …

Abstract The Material Point Method (MPM) uses a combined Eulerian-Lagrangian approach
to solve problems involving large deformations. A problem domain is discretised as material …

Explosive welding involves processes like the detonation of explosive, impact of metal
structures and strong fluid–structure interaction, while the whole process of explosive …

The material point method exhibits kinematic locking when traditional linear shape functions
are used with a rectangular grid. The locking affects both the strain and the stress fields …

The material point method is an increasingly popular method for tackling solid mechanics
problems involving large deformations. However, there are issues associated with applying …

Taking advantages of both Lagrangian and Eulerian methods, material point method (MPM)
is suitable for modeling problems with extreme deformation. However, MPM is less accurate …

Violent free surface flows with strong fluid-solid interactions can produce a tremendous
pressure load on structures, resulting in elastic and even plastic deformations. Modeling …

The explicit material point method (MPM) works successfully in modeling high frequency
problems, but it is very computationally expensive in simulating low frequency with small …

The material point method (MPM) is a robust numerical simulation approach for continuum
mechanics problems involving large material deformations coupled to changing surface …

Landslides cause significant damage and loss of life around the world each year. To help
protect people, infrastructure, and lifelines against such disasters, it is critical to: a.) control …
