Abstract:SummaryThe material point method is a versatile technique which can be used to solve various types of solid mechanics problems, especially those involving large deformations. However, the capability of the material point method to track a load‐displacement response can deteriorate once a limit point, such as snap‐through or snap‐back, in the response is encountered. One way of overcoming this is to use path following techniques, such as an arc‐length method. This technique is well established in finite element… Show more
