Frictional sliding and crack growth are two main dissipation processes in quasi brittle
materials. The frictional sliding along closed cracks is the origin of macroscopic plastic …

Plasticity models employing multiple yield surfaces are frequently met in plasticity theory and
engineering practice. The multiple yield surfaces may or may not intersect in a smooth …

The first part of the paper presents a material point method solution for the bearing capacity
of a deep foundation in purely cohesive soil, which is a widely known engineering problem …

To solve large deformation geotechnical problems, a novel strain‐smoothed particle finite
element method (SPFEM) is proposed that incorporates a simple and effective edge‐based …

This study develops a coupled elastoplastic damage model for brittle rocks within the
framework of irreversible thermodynamics. In the model, degradations in the deformation …

Various smoothed particle finite element methods (SPFEMs) have been developed to
simulate large deformation problems, but their efficiency and accuracy in simulating …

In this paper, a computational framework based on the material point method (MPM) is
developed to study the coupled seepage-erosion-deformation process within unsaturated …

Accurate prediction of the interactions between the nonlinear soil skeleton and the pore fluid
under loading plays a vital role in many geotechnical applications. It is therefore important to …

In this paper an anisotropic material model based on non-associated flow rule and mixed
isotropic–kinematic hardening was developed and implemented into a user-defined material …

In many geomechanics applications, material boundaries are subjected to large
displacements and deformation. Under these circumstances, the application of boundary …
