Earthquake-induced geohazards are natural disasters that have the potential to cause
severe damage to infrastructure and endanger human lives. To mitigate these natural …

Geoscience is a fundamental natural science discipline dealing with the origin, evolutionary
history and behaviour of the planet Earth. As a result of its complicated and complex nature …

Application of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method to the simulation of
granular materials under large deformation is presented. The Drucker–Prager constitutive …

In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is employed to model the
presence of discontinuities caused by frictional contact. The method is used in modeling …

A discrete and continuum modelling approach to powder compaction is presented and
discussed. The work demonstrates the ability of the discrete method to capture the …

A very simple and general expression of the consistent tangent matrix for substepping time-
integration schemes is presented. If needed, the derivatives required for the computation of …

In this paper, a fully coupled thermo‐hydro‐mechanical model is presented for two‐phase
fluid flow and heat transfer in fractured/fracturing porous media using the extended finite …

The purpose of this review paper is to present different techniques used in geotechnics for
numerical modeling, recent advances and laboratory testing and gap areas in numerical …

The efficient simulation of fault and fracture mechanics is a key issue in several applications
and is attracting a growing interest by the scientific community. Using a formulation based on …

In this paper, a double-surface plasticity model, based on a combination of a convex yield
surface consisting of a failure envelope, such as a Mohr–Coulomb yield surface and, a …
