Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) can be used to determine in-situ material properties and represent a practical choice for site investigation offshore, especially for linear infrastructure, such as Offshore Wind export cables. Information gained from CP... Read More about Cone penetration tests (CPTs) in bi-phase soils: A material point approach with rigid body interaction.

A comparison of approaches for modelling poro-mechanics in the Material Point Method (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Pretti, G., Coombs, W., & Augarde, C. (2022, April). A comparison of approaches for modelling poro-mechanics in the Material Point Method. Paper presented at UKACM 2022, Nottingham, UK

When it comes to the analysis of fully saturated porous materials, a plethora of formulations [1] are available in the literature. Among them, the so-called u − p formulation constitutes a well-established approach when low-frequency problems are con...
