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 …

Many problems in geotechnical engineering involve large movements or rotations,
examples include natural processes such as landslides, and man-made processes such as …

We present the fundamental concepts of SPH with particular emphasis on its state-of-the-art
applications in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering. In the first part of the paper, we …

Traditional geotechnical analyses for landslides involve failure prediction (ie onset of failure)
and the design of structures that can safely withstand the applied loads. The analyses …

This paper presents the formulation and implementation of a numerical procedure based on
material point method (MPM) to solve fully coupled dynamic problems that undergo large …

This practical guide provides the best introduction to large deformation material point
method (MPM) simulations for geotechnical engineering. It provides the basic theory …

The paper describes a three-phase single-point material point method formulation of
coupled flow (water and air) for hydro-mechanical analysis of geotechnical problems …

This study investigates the occurrence and evolution of various slope failure modes during
large deformation in spatially variable soils using Monte Carlo simulation combined with …

Rainfall-induced slope failures are a major category of slope failure, with incidents likely to
increase with the predicted escalation of extreme rainfall events. Traditional numerical …

Seepage-induced internal erosion and failure in unsaturated/saturated porous media is
challenging for computational simulations as they involve the behaviour, interactions (solid …
