Debris flows are among the most catastrophic natural phenomena, attracting the interest of
researchers, engineers and government agencies. The complexity of the physical process …

The particle finite element method (PFEM) is a robust approach for modelling large
deformation problems with free surface evolution. The classical PFEM, however, requires …

In this study, a stabilized smoothed particle finite element method (SPFEM) for modeling
nonlinear, large deformation dynamic problems in geomechanics is presented. The …

The material point method (MPM) simulation of large-scale landslides can provide useful
information to response to landslide hazards in mountainous regions. However, the …

Naturally, sedimented strata bring about complicated distributions for geomaterial properties
with different random field parameters in different directions, eg, the anisotropic scale of …

Many geo-hazards phenomena are characterized by granular flows over complex natural
terrains, which are challenging to be simulated numerically. In this paper, we propose a …

Due to geological processes such as sedimentation, tectonic movement, and backfilling,
natural soil often exhibits characteristics of rotated anisotropy. Recent studies have shown …

Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is now becoming more and more welcome in
modeling large deformation, soil failure and landslide in geotechnical and geological …

Overtopping failure of earthfill dams is a complex process that involves strong soil–water
coupling and structural failure. Physically based numerical models are essential for …

In slope stability analysis, the inherent heterogeneity and spatial variability of soil
significantly influence the aftermath of landslides, including critical aspects like runout …
