Three-dimensional modelling of drag anchor penetration using the material point method
Robert E. Bird, William M. Coombs, Michael J. Brown +6
Drag embedment anchors are a key threat to buried subsea linear infrastructure, such as power/data cables and pipelines. For cables, selecting a burial depth is a compromise betwee…

A dynamic implicit 3D material point-to-rigid body contact approach for large deformation analysis
Robert E. Bird, Giuliano Pretti, William M. Coombs +6
Accurate and robust modelling of large deformation three dimensional contact interaction is an important area of engineering, but it is also challenging from a computational mechan…
