Potential catastrophic re-activations of ancient massive landslides in reservoir areas have
posed serious threats to the safety of local people and the ecological environment. Failure …

This study presents an improved semi-implicit MPM formulation for coupled large
deformation problems in geotechnics based on the fractional step method. The main …

The stability of the tunnel face has been an important issue investigated by many scholars.
To fully study the failure evolution of tunnel face and the hydro-mechanical behavior of …

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 …

In the present study a novel approach of practical interest is proposed to perform a predictive
analysis of the landslides in sensitive clays. Specifically, this approach allows a prediction of …

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

A major challenge for material point method (MPM) is to model multi-body and multi-material
interactions. Prevailing contact schemes developed for MPM suffer from numerical …

Understanding the entire process of hydraulic-related landslide reactivations is crucial for
risk assessment, which includes initiation and runout evolves from a small-deformation in …

In this study, a stabilized smoothed particle finite element method (SPFEM) for modeling
nonlinear, large deformation dynamic problems in geomechanics is presented. The …

The material point method (MPM) simulation of large-scale landslides can provide useful
information to response to landslide hazards in mountainous regions. However, the …
