This book provides an introduction to the fundamental theory, practical implementation, and core and emerging applications of the material point method (MPM) and its variants. The MPM combines the advantages of both finite element analysis (FEM) and meshless/meshfree methods (MMs) by representing the material by a set of particles overlaid on a background mesh that serves as a computational scratchpad.
The book shows how MPM allows a robust, accurate, and efficient simulation of a wide variety of material behaviors without requiring overly complex implementations. MPM and its variants have been shown to be successful in simulating a large number of high deformation and complicated engineering problems such as densification of foam, sea ice dynamics, landslides, and energetic device explosions, to name a few, and have recently found applications in the movie industry. It is hoped that this comprehensive exposition on MPM variants and their applications will not only provide anopportunity to re-examine previous contributions, but also to re-organize them in a coherent fashion and in anticipation of new advances.
Sample algorithms for the solutions of benchmark problems are provided online so that researchers and graduate students can modify these algorithms and develop their own solution algorithms for specific problems. The goal of this book is to provide students and researchers with a theoretical and practical knowledge of the material point method to analyze engineering problems, and it may help initiate and promote further in-depth studies on the subjects discussed.

About the Author
Stéphane Bordas is Professor in Computational Mechanics at the University of Luxembourg. Prior to this, he was Professor of Engineering, Chair of Engineering, and Director for the Institute of Mechanics and Advanced Materials at Cardiff University. He received his Ph.D. in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from Northwestern University in December 2003. He currently serves on the editorial Board for Advances in Engineering Software (Elsevier) and Computers and Structures (Elsevier) and is Regular Reviewer for 42 ISI journals. In 2011, he was awarded the European Research Council Starting Independent Grant Award.
Dr Vinh Phu Nguyen is a lecturer at the Faculty of Engineering, Monash University. He received his Ph.D. in Computational Mechanics from Delft University of Technology in 2011, where his focus was multiscale failure modeling of quasi-brittle materials. His current research interests include computational fracture mechanics (phase-field fracture/damage models, cohesive zone models), and numerical methods for large deformation problems (material point method).Dr Alban de Vaucorbeil is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Frontier Materials, Deakin University (Australia). He received his Ph.D. in Material Engineering from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada in 2016 where his focus was the modelling of cluster strengthening in Aluminium alloys. Alban's research focuses on the development and use of numerical methods for the study of problems in both Mechanical Engineering and Materials Engineering. He is a Australian Research Council DECRA fellow.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GoldBooks, Comfort, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
