Known for its high mechanical strength and ductility, ultra-high performance concrete
(UHPC) emerges as a promising material in civil and military constructions to resist …

In the past two decades, meshfree methods have emerged into a new class of computational
methods with considerable success. In addition, a significant amount of progress has been …

We present an open-source software RKPM2D for solving PDEs under the reproducing
kernel particle method (RKPM)-based meshfree computational framework. Compared to …

In this paper, we model the three-dimensional concrete impact and penetration problems
using a stabilized meshfree method. The present method is established using a non …

Failure analyses of reinforced concrete slabs under impact loading are essential to evaluate
the impact resistance of structures accurately; further, these analyses help reasonably …

A novel contact algorithm for the B-spline material point method (referred to as cBSMPM) is
proposed to address impact and penetration problems. The proposed contact algorithm is …

The material point method (MPM) suffers from poor accuracy and suboptimal convergence
rates compared to other numerical methods due to the under-integration of the weak form; …

Finite element simulations of frictional multi-body contact problems via conformal meshes
can be challenging and computationally demanding. To render geometrical features …

Panel cracking for stiffened panels is investigated based on linear elastic fracture
mechanics. Meshfree flat shell formulation and fracture modeling are employed. After …

The numerical modelling of natural disasters such as landslides presents several
challenges for conventional mesh-based methods such as the finite element method (FEM) …
