Towards an understanding of the chemo-mechanical influences on kidney stone failure via the material point method.
This paper explores the use of the meshfree computational mechanics method, the Material Point Method (MPM), to model the composition and damage of typical renal calculi, or kidney stones. Kidney stones are difficult entities to model due to their complex structure and failure behavior. Better under...
