Modeling Large‐Deformation Geotechnical Problems in Granular Soils: Integrating a Micromechanics‐Based Model With the Explicit Finite Element Method

Large‐deformation problems in granular soils are of central importance in geotechnical engineering, as they govern the performance of foundations, retaining structures, and earthworks under extreme loading conditions. Reliable prediction of such phenomena remains challenging due to the complex material behavior and t...

Co-Simulation Study on Ship–Ice Load and Resistance Characteristics of an Elastic Hull in Irregular Ice Fields

To overcome the limitations of existing ship–ice interaction simulations—namely, oversimplified ice floe geometries and single-field coupling schemes—this study develops a numerical framework that integrates parametric modeling with multi-physics coupling. The framework is used to investigate the effects of irregular i...

A general method for two-dimensional finite strain elastoplastic consolidation analysis of high-water-content soft soils in irregular soil domains: from theory to applications

This paper presents a general computational method for two-dimensional (2D) elastoplastic finite strain consolidation analysis of soft soils with high-water-contents. A modified compressibility relationship capable of accounting for zero initial effective stress is embedded into Gibson’s 2D large strain consolidation t...

Numerical Modelling of One-Dimensional Wave Propagation in Deposits: Influence of the Effective Shear Strain Definition on the Equivalent Linear Method Solution

Seismic site response analysis plays a fundamental role in predicting earthquake ground motions at the ground surface by accounting for soil effects on wave propagation. Although advanced nonlinear methods can accurately simulate complex soil behaviour, their use in routine engineering practice is challenging. Conseque...

Freezing of a deformable water-saturated porous medium. Part I: THM formulation, OpenGeoSys-6 implementation and benchmarking

In this contribution, Part I, we present a coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical formulation for modeling and analyzing water-to-ice phase change in a deformable fully-saturated porous medium. It is implemented in the multi-physics computational platform OpenGeoSys-6. We compute a series of carefully designed benchmark probl...
