Landslides are one of the most destructive hazard processes that cause tremendous loss of
lives and damage to the built environment. As a crucial part of disaster risk management …

Abstract Most existing Finite Element Method and the Material Point Method (FEM-MPM)
coupling is designed for explicit solvers. By contrast, implicit schemes offer the advantage of …

This paper introduces BFEMP, a new approach for monolithically coupling the Material Point
Method (MPM) with the Finite Element Method (FEM) through barrier energy-based particle …

In recent years, the number of offshore floating structures has been growing and is expected
to continue growing. Due to climate change, the frequency and severity of extreme waves …

This research focuses on performing ultrasound propagation measurements and micro-X-
ray computed tomography (µXRCT) imaging on prestressed granular packings prepared …

In this study, we develop a novel framework by coupling the Updated Lagrangian Material
Point Method (ULMPM) and the Total Lagrangian Material Point Method (TLMPM) to …

This study focuses on solving the numerical challenges of imposing absorbing boundary
conditions for dynamic simulations in the material point method (MPM). To attenuate elastic …

Evaluating root reinforcement in the root–soil composite is challenging due to the complex
interactions among its components and the variable configurations of the roots. A proposed …

Attenuator barriers, in contrast to conventional safety nets, tend to smoothly guide impacting
rocks instead of absorbing large amounts of strain energy arresting them. It has been shown …

The simulation of structural impact problems is a challenging task that current numerical
methods struggle to resolve due to the strong heterogeneity of physical and computational …
