Abstract

One of the main drawbacks of all the time integration algorithms using an Eulerian formulations in Coupled Problems is the restricted time-step to be used to have acceptable results.

For the case of fluid-structure interactions (FSI) with or without free-surfaces or for [...]

Abstract

The main idea of the Particle Finite Element Method in both versions: with moving mesh or with fixed mesh, are to have a set of particles that move in a Lagrangian frame convecting all the physical and mathematical variables (for instance, the density, the viscosity or the conductivity, [...]

Se describen los conceptos básicos del método de partículas y elementos finitos (PFEM) para análisis de flujos de fluidos en lámina libre y su interacción [...]

Abstract

The paper presents an overview of the advances in recent years on the finite element method (FEM) and on particle-based methods for the simulation of industrial metal forming processes. More specifically, we present the evolution of the FEM in the field from the early plastic/viscoplastic [...]

Abstract

The aim of this work is to present a new procedure for modelling industrial processes
that involve granular material flows, using a numerical model based on the Particle
Finite Element Method (PFEM). The numerical results herein presented show
the potential of this [...]

Abstract

The present work introduces a new application of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for the modeling of excavation problems. Lagrangian descriptions of motion of the continuum medium are the natural way of describing motion in solid mechanics. Particle finite element methods [...]

Abstract

We present a general Lagrangian formulation for treating elastic solids and quasi/fully incompressible fluids in a unified form. The formulation allows to treat solid and fluid subdomains in a unified manner in fluid-structure interaction (FSI) situations. In our work the FSI problem [...]

Abstract

We present some advances in the formulation of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) for solving complex fluid-structure interaction problems with free surface waves. In particular, we present extensions of the PFEM for the analysis of the interaction between a collection of [...]

Abstract

The paper describes some recent developments in finite element and particle methods for analysis of a wide range of bulk forming processes. The developments include new stabilized linear triangles and tetrahedra using finite calculus and a new procedure combining particle methods [...]
