We present the fundamental concepts of SPH with particular emphasis on its state-of-the-art
applications in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering. In the first part of the paper, we …

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 …

Traditional geotechnical analyses for landslides involve failure prediction (ie onset of failure)
and the design of structures that can safely withstand the applied loads. The analyses …

Abstract Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is a relatively new meshless numerical
approach which has attracted significant attention in the last two decades. Compared with …

The paper presents a concise review on latest advances related to development of entirely
Lagrangian meshfree computational methods for hydroelastic fluid-structure interactions …

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a meshfree particle method based on
Lagrangian formulation, and has been widely applied to different areas in engineering and …

Landslide is a uniquely dynamic large-deformation process that can present serious threat
to human lives and infrastructures. The natural soil properties often exhibit inherent spatial …

Many problems in geotechnical engineering involve large movements or rotations,
