Study of landslides and soil-structure interaction problems using the implicit material point methodGonzalez Acosta, J.L. (author), Vardon, P.J. (author), Hicks, M.A. (author)Mesh based methods such as the finite element method (FEM) are the most usually used techniques for analysing soil-structure interaction problems in geotechnical engineering. Nevertheless, standard FEM is unable to simulate large deformations and contact, hindering the realistic simulation of rotational, sliding, pull-out and overturning...journal article 2021
