The discrete element method (DEM) is used to model granular materials and analyse a wide
range of related applications. However, accurate predictions can only be made if the input …

Coupled fluid–solid phase continuum problems associated with large deformation as
geotechnics experts encounter in slope stability problems have been extensively reviewed …

Strength and deformation behaviors of rockfill materials, key factors for determining the
stability of dams, pertain strongly to the grain crushing characteristics. In this study, single …

The discrete element method (DEM) is a numerical tool often used by engineers and
researchers to design, analyse and improve bulk materials handling systems. However, the …

The possibilities of the particle finite element method (PFEM) for modeling geotechnical
problems are increasingly evident. PFEM is a numerical approach to solve large …

Granular materials reach critical states upon shearing. The position and shape of a critical
state line (CSL) in the compression plane are important for constitutive models …

This paper investigates the particle breakage behaviour of a carbonate sand based on
single-particle compression experiments with in situ X-ray microtomography scanning (μCT) …

The paper presents total-stress numerical analyses of large-displacement soil-structure
interaction problems in geomechanics using the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) …

Increasing hydraulic gradients and associated seepage in a soil foundation accompanied by
a reduction in effective stress, degradation of soil stiffness, and diminished internal stability …

This paper describes a computational framework for the numerical analysis of quasi-static
soil-structure insertion problems in water saturated media. The Particle Finite Element …
