Cone tip resistance is the most widely measured quantity in the cone penetration test. A brief
review is made of presently available theories for the analysis of cone resistance. The …

This paper describes recent advances in stability analysis that combine the limit theorems of
classical plasticity with finite elements to give rigorous upper and lower bounds on the …

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

This Paper describes an analysis of the quasi-static penetration of a cone penetrometer into
clay. The clay is idealized as a homogeneous elastic–perfectly plastic material obeying tbe …

SUMMARY A practical method is presented for numerical analysis of problems in solid (in
particular soil) mechanics which involve large strains or deformations. The method is similar …

This paper describes two substep** schemes for integrating elastoplastic stress–strain
relations. The schemes are designed for use in finite element plasticity calculations and …

This paper describes a technique for computing rigorous upper bounds on limit loads under
conditions of plane strain. The method assumes a perfectly plastic soil model, which is either …

Effective explicit algorithms for integrating complex elastoplastic constitutive models, such as
those belonging to the Cam clay family, are described. These automatically divide the …

In geomechanics, limit analysis provides a useful method for assessing the capacity of
structures such as footings and retaining walls, and the stability of slopes and excavations …

A new upper bound formulation of limit analysis of two‐and three‐dimensional solids is
presented. In contrast to most discrete upper bound methods the present one is formulated …
