Advances in numerical methods have provided useful tools for investigating the complex
behaviour of landslides, which can be a valuable support for landslide hazard assessment …

Soil surface erosion can shape the morphography of rivers and estuaries in the natural
environment and induce high potential risks to structures in engineering. Numerical …

The spatial variability is an inherent characteristic of soils. In addition to isotropic and
transversely anisotropic soils, rotated anisotropic soils can also be observed in nature owing …

Based on the combined finite–discrete element method (FDEM), this paper presents a
moisture diffusion–fracture coupling model to simulate soil desiccation cracking. The …

Abstract In this study, Material Point Method (MPM) is improved to simulate coseismic slope
stability and liquefaction-induced embankment failure under earthquake loading. First, by …

Many natural hazards involve large deformations of unsaturated soils, eg rainfall-induced
landslides, embankment collapses due to wetting, seepage-induced instabilities of dams …

A multiscale framework is developed based on the spectral element method (SEM) and
material point method (MPM) for the large-deformation analysis of coseismic landslides. At a …

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 …

This paper presents a comprehensive and well-documented landslide case study involving
detailed site investigation, field tests, seismic signal analyses, and advanced numerical …

In the present manuscript, a stabilized two-phase PD-FEM coupling approach is developed
for simulating deformation and fracture propagation in partially saturated porous media …
