The particle finite element method (PFEM) is a powerful and robust numerical tool for the
simulation of multi-physics problems in evolving domains. The PFEM exploits the …

A version of the Particle Finite Element Method applicable to geomechanics applications is
presented. A simple rigid-plastic material model is adopted and the governing equations are …

This work presents a numerical method for the simulation of landslides generated impulse
waves and its application to the historical Vajont case study. The computational tool is based …

Excess of liquid water in gas channels of polymer electrolyte fuel cells is responsible for
malfunctioning of these devices. Not only it decreases their efficiency via partial blockage of …

We present a combination of the Finite Element Method (FEM), the Particle Finite Element
Method (PFEM), and the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for modeling and analyzing the …

We present a Lagrangian monolithic strategy for solving fluid–structure interaction (FSI)
problems. The formulation is called Unified because fluids and solids are solved using the …

As a Lagrangian mesh-free method, the Moving Particle Semi-implicit (MPS) method is very
suitable for simulating violent flows, such as breaking waves on free surface. However …

We present a Lagrangian formulation for finite element analysis of quasi‐incompressible
fluids that has excellent mass preservation features. The success of the formulation lays on a …

This paper proposes two regularized models of the μ (I)-rheology and shows their
application to the numerical simulation of 3D dense granular flows. The proposed …

In this work a fully partitioned Lagrangian framework for the solution of fluid–structure
interaction (FSI) problems involving free surfaces, large solid displacements and …
