Pore clogging and unclogging in porous media are ubiquitous in subsurface hydrologic
processes, which have been studied extensively at various scales ranging from a single …

The material point method (MPM) is often used to simulate soils that interact with (nearly)
rigid objects, such as structures, machines, or rocks. Yet MPM simulations of such problems …

Multiple barriers with basal clearance are usually adopted in engineering practice to
mitigate large volumes of debris flows. This approach allows for sufficient discharge and …

In this study, a novel debris flow resisting structure is proposed that incorporates negative
Poisson's ratio (NPR) cables to unite a flexible net and a rigid barrier; this structure is …

Debris flows are catastrophic landslides increasing in severity in recent decades due to the
more frequent and intense rainfall events under climate change. Debris flows pose a serious …

The large-volume and high-speed channelized granular flows transformed from energetic
rockslides and rockfalls are serious geological disasters. The submerged sills embedded in …

Recently, the dependency of post-earthquake landslides on temperature variation has been
increasingly discovered, where the slope deposits at risk are often enriched with loose and …
