Hypoplastic particle finite element model for cutting tool-soil interaction simulations: Numerical analysis and experimental validation
This study presents numerical and experimental models for the analysis of the excavation of soft soils by means of a cutting tool. The computational model is constructed using an Updated Lagrangean (UL) velocity-based Finite Element approach. A hypoplastic formulation is employed to describe the con...
