Abstract The material point method (MPM) is a numerical method for the solution of problems in continuum mechanics, including situations of large deformations. A generalization (GMPM) of this method was introduced by Bardenhagen and Kober (2004) in order to avoid some computational instabilities inherent to the original method (MPM). This generalization leads to a method more akin of the Petrov-Galerkin procedure. Although it is possible to find in the literature examples of the deduction and applications of the MPM/GMPM to specific problems, its detailed implementation is yet to be presented. Therefore, this paper attempts to describe all steps required for the… More >
