Particle Finite Element Simulation of Granular Media

Abstract:

Despite their ubiquity, the simulation of granular materials poses a continuing challenge in computational mechanics, as these materials can behave like solid, liquid and gas. In this paper, a recently developed version of the Particle Finite Element Method is applied for analyzing the behaviour of granular media under very large deformations. Both quasi-static and dynamic problems are considered. It is shown that this continuum approach is applicable to general large deformation problems of granular materials, including liquid-like flows.
