The material point method for geotechnical engineering: a practical guide

Description

"This practical guide introduces large deformation material point method (MPM) simulations for geotechnical engineering. It provides the basic theory, discusses the different numerical features used in large deformation simulations, and presents a number of applications - providing references, examples and guidance"-- Abstract: "This practical guide introduces large deformation material point method (MPM) simulations for geotechnical engineering.
