Advances in the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for Solving Coupled Problems in Engineering
We present some developments in the formulation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for analysis of complex coupled problems on fluid and solid mechanics in engineering accounting for fluid-structure interaction and coupled thermal effects, material degradation and surface wear.

Abstract The dynamics of fluid flows with free surfaces and interacting with highly deformable structures is a complex problem, attracting considerable attention. The Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) is one of the various numerical methods recently proposed in the literature to simulate this type of problems. It is a mesh‐based Lagrangian approach,

A fully explicit fluid-structure interaction approach based on PFEM and FEM [PDF]
The numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems involving free-surfaces is of great interest in many engineering applications. Particle-based methods, like PFEM, are particularly suited for the analysis of free-surface flows and ...

On the numerical modeling of granular material flows via the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM)
The aim of this work is to describe a numerical framework for reliably and robustly simulating the different kinematic conditions exhibited by granular materials while spreading ---from a stagnant condition, when the material is at rest, to a transition to granular flow, and back to a deposit profile.

Simulation of penetration problems in geomechanics [PDF]
The simulation of penetration problems in geomaterials is a challenging problem as it involves large deformations and displacements as well as strong non-linearities affecting material behaviour, geometry and contact surfaces. The paper presents examples
