Brinkgreve, R.B.J. (author), Burg, M (author), Liim, L.J. (author), Andreykiv, A (author)The Material Point Method (MPM) has been developed as a special finite element-based method for large deformation analysis, material flow and contact problems. When it comes to applications in soil, MPM can provide solutions where conventional FEM faces its limitations. Examples of geotechnical applications include landslides, silo filling and...conference paper 2017

Burg, M (author), Lim, L.J. (author), Brinkgreve, R.B.J. (author)In this work, we present the application of a newly developed implicit second-order Material Point Method (MPM) on offshore geotechnical applications. The presented second-order MPM uses a special set of piecewise quadratic shape functions to circumvent the well-known issue of producing zero nodal mass contributions. To mitigate the effect of...conference paper 2017

Pantev, I. (author)In recent years, the Material Point Method has emerged as a promising alternative to the Finite Element Method for solving problems involving localised deformations, large displacements or rotations, fracture, contact/impact problems and others. FEMhas been a staple of engineering disciplines both in academia and industry for decades, however...master thesis 2016

Sadeghi Tehrani, F. (author), Thi Viet Phuong, N. (author), Brinkgreve, R.B.J. (author), van Tol, A.F. (author)In this study, installation of jacked piles in sand is simulated using Press-Replace Method (PRM) and Material Point Method (MPM) and the results are compared together. This comparison is important because a realistic and yet efficient simulation of installation of jacked piles is an appealing step towards the design and analysis of this type of...journal article 2016

Mieremet, M.M.J. (author)In the field of geotechnical engineering, the study of numerous processes such as pile installation requires to model large deformation of soil. Soil is an assembly of solid particles whose pore volume is filled with water or air. Its deformation mainly depends on the highly non-linear stress-strain behaviour of the soil skeleton. In case of the...master thesis 2015
