Numerous studies have investigated the coupled multi-field processes in frozen soils,
focusing on the variation in frozen soils and addressing the influences of climate change …

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 …

The node-based strain smoothed particle finite element method (NS-PFEM) has a high level
of computational efficiency. However, it has not yet been extended to hydromechanical …

The strain smoothed nodal integration particle finite element method (NS-PFEM) has a high
level of computational efficiency. However, it suffers from the 'overly soft'problem. This study …

Self-consistent extension of linear poroelasticity to overlap** scales of porosity within fluid-
saturated anisotropic materials is developed. The coefficient matrix of poromechanical …

Landslide is a common dynamic large-deformation disaster of mobilized soils, which poses
a serious threat to the lives and economic properties of surrounding people. Both the strain …

The first and fully validated smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model is presented to
tackle coupled flow–deformation problems in unsaturated porous media that undergo large …

The particle finite element method (PFEM) is a robust approach for modelling large
deformation problems with free surface evolution. The classical PFEM, however, requires …

This paper presents a novel approach (Y-slope) to simulate entire slope failure processes,
from initiation, transport to deposition. The algorithm is implemented in a combined finite …

Landslides involving sensitive clays are recurrent events in the world's northern regions and
are especially notorious in eastern Canada. The two critical factors that separate sensitive …
