Abstract Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a relatively new meshless numerical
approach which has attracted significant attention in the last two decades. Compared with …

Many problems in geotechnical engineering involve large movements or rotations,
examples include natural processes such as landslides, and man-made processes such as …

We present the fundamental concepts of SPH with particular emphasis on its state-of-the-art
applications in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering. In the first part of the paper, we …
