On the development of a material point method compatible arc length solver for large deformation solid mechanics (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The Material Point Method is a versatile technique, however, it may be unable to provide a valid solution if there is a snap-through or snap-back response in the equilibrium path. One approach of overcoming this issue is the use of path following tec...

A geometrically-exact Finite Element Method for micropolar continua with finite deformations (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Micropolar theory is a weakly non-local higher-order continuum theory based on the inclusion of independent (micro-)rotational degrees of freedom. Subsequent introduction of couple-stresses and an internal length scale mean the micropolar continuum i...

An open-source Julia code for geotechnical MPM (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
There is considerable interest in the Material Point Method (MPM) in the computational geotechnics community since it can model problems involving large deformations, e.g. landslides, collapses etc. without being too far from the standard finite elem...

Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) in layered soils: a Material Point approach (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) can be used to determine in-situ soil properties and represent a practical choice for site investigation offshore, especially for linear infrastructure, such as offshore wind export cables. Information gained from CPTs i... Read More about Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) in layered soils: a Material Point approach.
MRI to MPM: Developing a Patient-specific Material Point Method Model of the Human Heart (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The heart is an important organ in the human body and has been widely studied using Finite Element Analysis techniques which often require extremely fine meshes in order to obtain accurate results. Also, large deformations are typically seen in heart... Read More about MRI to MPM: Developing a Patient-specific Material Point Method Model of the Human Heart.
The Virtual Element Method for Engineers (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The virtual element method (VEM) is a relatively new technique, similar to the finite element method (FEM), but having no restriction on the number of element sides. This has numerous advantages, particularly regarding greater meshing flexibility, ho... Read More about The Virtual Element Method for Engineers.
A comparison of approaches for modelling poro-mechanics in the Material Point Method (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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...
