Validación numérica, teórica y experimental del método del punto material para resolver problemas geotécnicos

摘要: This paper investigates the possibility of using material point method (MPM) to solve small strains quasi-static problems and dynamic related large distortions. Traditional methods such as finite element (FEM) face difficulties when are involved. Therefore, tools MPM have become more important in recent years. As a new tool, needs prove its functionality for geotechnical engineering problems. In first place mathematical formulation is shortly described. Next, numerical simulations shallow foundation, an unconfined compression test slope problem performed open source code. The results compared with FEM simulations, analytical solutions real laboratory tests. study shows qualitative quantitative agreement compared; better performance solving stresses than detected. set validates dealing strains. However, traditional showed cases.
