Discrete element method to simulate continuous material by using the cohesive beam model [PDF]
, 2012 The mechanical behavior of materials is usually simulated by the continuous mechanics approach. However, simulation of non-continuous phenomena like multi fracturing is not well adapted to a continuous description.

Vehicle-bridge dynamic interaction using finite element modelling [PDF]
, 2010 First investigations on the dynamic response of bridges due to moving loads were motivated by the collapse of the Chester railway bridge in the UK in the middle of the 19th century.

Modeling of ground excavation with the particle finite element method [PDF]
, 2010 The present work introduces a new application of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for the modeling of excavation problems. PFEM is presented as a very suitable tool for the treatment of excavation problem.

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020 In this paper, we develop a new computational framework to investigate the sloshing free surface flow of Newtonian and non‐Newtonian fluids in the rectangular tanks. We simulate the flow via a two‐phase model and employ the fixed unstructured mesh in the computation to avoid the mesh distortion and reconstruction.

Investigation of Solution Accuracy in PFEM Simulations Using Benchmark Problems
Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT The simulation of large topological changes, such as those occurring in Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) and vibratory pile driving, remains a major challenge in computational geomechanics. Excessive mesh distortions render classical approaches like the Finite Element Method (FEM) unsuitable, emphasizing the need for alternative methodologies ...

Explicit‐Implicit Material Point Method for Dense Granular Flows With a Novel Regularized µ(I) Model
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 3256-3273, May 2026.ABSTRACT The material point method (MPM) is widely employed to simulate granular flows. Although explicit time integration is favored in most current MPM implementations for its simplicity, it cannot rigorously incorporate the incompressible µ(I)‐rheology, an efficient model ubiquitously adopted in other particle‐based numerical methods. While operator‐

How Does Heterogeneity Control Strain Localization Patterns in High‐Porosity Rocks?
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract We aim to explore how heterogeneous porosity and grain size contribute to strain localization patterns in highly porous rocks based on phase‐field simulations. The strain localization patterns, including shear bands, dilatation bands, and compaction bands, are commonly observed in geological field studies and laboratory experiments.

Modeling of Free Surface Flows with Elastic Bodies Interactions [PDF]
, 2008 In this paper, a series of new fluid and structure interactions test cases with strong free surface effects are presented and computations of such flows with the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) (Idelsohn, Oiiate, Del Pin and Calvo, 2006) are ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Weathering is a fundamental driver of landslide evolution over geological timescales. Despite its ubiquity and importance, quantifying how weathering drives the progressive destabilization of rock slopes remains challenging. In this work, we develop a unified computational framework based on the particle finite element method to investigate ...
