The smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method was recently extended to simulate
granular materials by the authors and demonstrated to be a powerful continuum numerical …

This state-of-the-art covers advances in the constitutive modelling, experimental
investigation and field measurement of suction for unsaturated soils. It consists of three …

The collapse of a quasi-two-dimensional column of cohesive granular media is investigated
experimentally and numerically in the framework of a continuum model. The configuration is …

This paper presents a systematic study of particle shape effects on granular collapse using
superquadric Discrete Element Method. Superquadrics allow non-spherical shapes to be …

Gravity-driven collapses involving large amounts of dense granular material, such as
landslides, avalanches, or rock falls, in a geophysical context, represent significant natural …

We investigate the submerged collapse of weakly polydisperse, loosely packed cohesive
granular columns, as a function of aspect ratio and cohesive force strength, via grain …

Many hazardous natural phenomena like debris flows, avalanches and submerged
landslides are governed by the interactions between solid grains and interstitial fluid. They …

Rock-ice avalanches pose serious risks to humans and infrastructures due to their extremely
large volumes and high mobility in glacierized mountain regions. The mobility of rock-ice …

The unchannelized collapse of wet granular columns in the pendular state is investigated
experimentally. Three different collapse regimes are observed in experiments, which are …

We investigate numerically the failure, collapse, and flow of a two‐dimensional brittle
granular column over a horizontal surface. In our discrete element simulations, we consider …
