An introduction to the PFEM (Particle-Finite Element Method)
The aim of the presentation is to give a "friendly" introduction to the PFEM (Particle-Finite Elements Method), a quite recent and powerful numerical method, designed to handle very non-linear problems, involving large displacements and deformations, in ...

We present some developments in the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for the solution of complex coupled problems in marine, naval and harbour engineering involving fluid-soil-structure interaction (FSSI). The PFEM uses an updated Lagrangian description to model the motion of nodes (particles) in a continuum domain containing fluid, soil/rock and ...

Traditionally, discrete element (DE) method and finite element (FE) method are used in numerical simulation of granular flow problems. A drawback with the (DE) method is the limitations in modelling the extreme large number of particles, which normally ...

On particle finite element methods (PFEM) in dynamic solid mechanics problems
The work presents the most relevant features of a numerical simulation setting based on the Particle Finite Element Method. The method is especially suitable for dynamic problems in computational solid mechanics where a fluid-like behavior is experienced by the solid i.e.: metal forming processes, powder compaction processes and granular flows ...

Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for analysis of industrial forming processes
We present a generalized Lagrangian formulation for analysis of industrial forming processes involving thermally coupled interactions between deformable continua. The governing equations for the deformable bodies are written in a unified manner that holds both for fluids and solids.
