Torpedo anchor installation involves uncertain design and construction parameters,
especially in layered soil deposits. Large deformation finite element and coupled Eulerian …

The nonlocal macro-meso damage (NMMD) model has shown promising results in
simulating the fracture process of materials. However, due to the inherent limitations of the …

The pull-out capacity of plate anchor is significantly impacted by the embedment loss during
keying, necessitating its prior estimation. The soil surrounding the anchor undergoes …

The nonlocal integral method typically requires a very high computing cost to search
neighborhood integration points for calculating the nonlocal variable, which limits its …

Conventional finite element analyses generally suffer from mesh dependency when
considering softening effects. Non-local strain regularisation techniques have been …

When modelling the phenomenon of strain localisation in strain-softening soils with the finite
element (FE) method, nonlocal approaches have been commonly employed to avoid mesh …

Finite element (FE) results might suffer from significant mesh dependency, especially when
modeling shear bands in strain-softening soils. On the other hand, the shear bands in the …

In the last decade, a new multi‐scale FEM× DEM approach has been developed using Finite
Element Method (FEM) coupled with Discrete Element Method (DEM) as a constitutive law to …

Landslide and slope failure are a continuous geological process, which should be analyzed
through the whole process from pre-failure to post-failure. The transition of slope from stable …

In this paper, the effects of strain softening of structural clay and the corresponding
influencing factors are systematically analyzed by modifying the existing constitutive model …
