Owing to the shape and size polydispersities of grains, transport paths in granular media are
always tortuous. In general, the tortuosity of a transport path affects the fluid flow and mass …

Dynamic brittle fracture is a numerically challenging problem that involves crack nucleation,
formation, propagation, and material fragmentation. In this work, we use two forms of …

The existing smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approaches for propagating fatigue
cracks involve either the deletion of the crack front particle or stopping all its interactions in …

This paper presents a detailed investigation on the General Particle Dynamics (GPD)
method and its implications for addressing challenges in large deformation mechanics and …

This paper introduces a novel upwind Updated Reference Lagrangian Smoothed Particle
Hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm for the numerical simulation of large strain thermo-elasticity …

Understanding crack propagation in structures subjected to fluid loads is crucial in various
engineering applications, ranging from underwater pipelines to aircraft components. In this …

Most of the continuum scale processes, such as fracture, plasticity, etc., trace their origin to
atomistic scale phenomena. To gain deeper insights into these processes, one needs to …

The microstructure of granular media, including grain's shape-and size-polydispersities,
orientation, and area fraction can potentially affect its permeability. However, few studies …

This study explores the development of a terramechanics-based model for non-pneumatic
tire–terrain interaction, focusing on different spoke designs. The research investigates how …

We develop a sequential multi-scaling framework for studying the problem of fatigue crack
propagation due to liquid droplet impingement. The scope is limited to a hypothetical …
