Abstract

Both the Material Point Method (MPM) and meshfree schemes based on optimal transport theory have been developed for efficient and robust integration of the weak form equations originating from computational mechanics. Although the methods are derived in a different fashion, their algorithms share many similarities. In this paper, we outline the close resemblance of MPM and Optimal Transportation Meshfree (OTM) schemes. Aside from a theoretical analysis, the methods are compared numerically using a one-dimensionalbenchmark.
