Description

Particle methods is a research area within Computational solid mechanics theme in the Modelling and Simulation Centre. We develop peridynamic formulations and particle-based Discrete Element Method (DEM) models for modelling discontinuous phenomena such as fracture, erosion, and multi-phase flow in fractured and porous media. Our work includes both theoretical advances in bond-based and state-based peridynamics, as well as practical implementations for problems involving phase transitions, heat transfer with solidification/melting, and coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes in geomaterials.
