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. 

I was wondering if someone has interests on working with the material point method.

Cheers,

Dorival. 

I'm leaving the US in a couple of days and will probably take a hiatus of a few months from iMechanica.  Before I leave, I want to tell you about a C++ idiom that eases the implementation and use of multiple material models in a computational mechanics code.

The first book on C++ idioms was by Jim Copilien sometime in the late 1990s called "Advanced C++: Programming Styles and Idioms".  The idea of such idioms has become considerably widespread since then - so much so that there is a Wikibook on the subject .
