The development of a combined finite-discrete element model for quasistatic geotechnical engineering applications

The mechanics of soil erosion around buried structures is a challenging soil-structure interaction problem. It involves progressive particle movement and interaction with an existing subsurface structure. Using standard finite element method (FEM) and continuum mechanics to simulate the soil erosion...
