Discrete macro - models of nonlinear interlocking mechanisms in the out-of-plane failure of masonry walls (2024)
Journal Article
Pantò, B., Giresini, L., & Casapulla, C. (online). Discrete macro - models of nonlinear interlocking mechanisms in the out-of-plane failure of masonry walls. Meccanica, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11012-024-01883-2

Historical unreinforced masonry (URM) constructions are generally vulnerable to out-of-plane (OOP) failures due to the absence of rigid floors and poor connections between orthogonal walls. That leads to the activation of rocking mechanisms of extern... Read More about Discrete macro - models of nonlinear interlocking mechanisms in the out-of-plane failure of masonry walls.

Stability of implicit material point methods for geotechnical analysis of large deformation problems (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Coombs, W. (2024, September). Stability of implicit material point methods for geotechnical analysis of large deformation problems. Presented at ALERT Geomaterials 2024, Aussois, France

The Material Point Method (MPM, [4]) is a mesh-based continuum method where the physical body is represented by a series of Material Points (MPs), which each have a finite amount of mass, represent the material’s stress-strain behaviour, etc. These M...
