An implicit nodal integration based PFEM for soil flow problems

Xue Zhang et al.

Summary: The Nodal integration based Particle Finite Element Method (N-PFEM) is developed to model soil flow problems. It does not require variable information transferring from old to new integration points when modeling large deformation problems. The method is particularly suitable for handling low to medium frequency soil dynamic problems, and has been verified through reproducing two lab testings.

Qi Zhang et al.

Summary: We have developed a comprehensive framework that can be applied to porous media with multiple porosity scales and saturated with one or two types of fluids. The proposed model is applicable to both elastic and elastoplastic deformations, and can be used for both uncoupled and coupled simulations. We have investigated the depletion process of fractured reservoirs and the effects of multiple factors on system response through uncoupled flow simulations and coupled flow and geomechanics simulations.

A volumetric locking-free stable node-based smoothed finite element method for geomechanics

Xi-Wen Zhou et al.

Summary: Two improved schemes, the two-level mesh repartitioning scheme (TLMR-SNS-FEM) and the bubble point-enriched scheme (Bubble-SNS-FEM), are proposed in this study to overcome volumetric locking in the stable node-based smoothed finite element method (SNS-FEM). These methods were validated using numerical examples of elastoplastic problems.

Yin-Fu Jin et al.

Summary: The study presents a stable nodal integration PFEM method with strain smoothing for solving geotechnical large deformation problems, addressing the 'overly soft' issue seen in NS-PFEM.

A novel centroid-enriched edge-based smoothed radial point interpolation method for upper bound limit analysis

Xiwen Zhou et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a novel centroid-enriched edge-based smoothed radial point interpolation method (CEESRPIM) to address volumetric locking issues and enhance numerical accuracy for upper bound limit analysis, using a local support node selection scheme. By discretizing the upper bound theorem into a standard second-order cone programming problem, the proposed method has been proven effective in eliminating volumetric locking problem under incompressible conditions, while maintaining efficiency inherited from traditional ESRPIM framework.

Large deformation analysis of slope failure using material point method with cross-correlated random fields

Chuan-xiang Qu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of cross-correlation between cohesion and the friction angle on the probability of slope failure and post-failure behavior using a random material point method (RMPM). The research demonstrated that mesh size, strength reduction shape factor parameter, and residual strength are critical in determining the post-failure behavior of a slope. Additionally, the study showed that the material point method (MPM) is superior to the finite element method (FEM) in handling large deformations.
