Guilkey, James Edward | Improved contact algorithm for the material point method and application to stress propagation in granular material | Contact between deformable bodies is a difficult problem in the analysis of engineering systems. A new approach to contact has been implemented using the Material Point Method for solid mechanics, Bardenhagen, Brackbill, and Sulsky (2000a). Here two improvements to the algorithm are described. The f... | Contact algorithm; Material point method; Wave propagation; Granular material; Solid mechanics | 2001 |
