Material Point Method

Dear all, I would like to know if there is anyone working with the Material Point Method for simulations in Geomechanics (or other fields...).

Thanks,

Dorival. 


MPM

We are developing a 3-D rockfall simulation in a GIS environment and we think the MPM could be very powerful method in simulating the impact phenomenon.

MPM + rockfall

Hi, that's interesting. We, including Dr. Anna Giacomini, are also planning to run some simulations of rockfalls using the (Generalized)MPM.

Prof. Nain and his co-worker are research on Material Point Method, you can search on Google with keywords: Nairn, MPM, crack propagation...

Fun,
