The Material Point Method: A Continuum-Based Particle Method for Extreme Loading Cases systematically introduces the theory, code design, and application of the material point method, covering subjects such as the spatial and temporal discretization of MPM, frequently-used strength models and equations of state of materials, contact algorithms in MPM, adaptive MPM, the hybrid/coupled material point finite element method, object-oriented programming of MPM, and the application of MPM in impact, explosion, and metal forming.
Recent progresses are also stated in this monograph, including improvement of efficiency, memory storage, coupling/combination with the finite element method, the contact algorithm, and their application to problems.
- Provides a user s guide and several numerical examples of the MPM3D-F90 code that can be downloaded from a website
- Presents models that describe different types of material behaviors, with a focus on extreme events.
- Includes applications of MPM and its extensions in extreme events, such as transient crack propagation, impact/penetration, blast, fluid-structure interaction, and biomechanical responses to extreme loading

About the Author
His research area is in Computation Mechanics with a recent focus on multiscale modeling and simulation of the multiphysical phenomena involved in structural failure subjected to extreme loading conditions. Before joining MU in 1995, he was a professional staff member at New Mexico Engineering Research Institute as well as in the Department for the Waste Isolation Pilot Project/Performance Analysis Code Development at Sandia National Laboratories.
Among his honors and awards are the Fellow of ASME, the Fellow of the ICACM, the Yangtze visiting professor and Qianren-Plan visiting professor appointed by the Ministry of Education in China, the Faculty Research Award in the College of Engineering at MU, the Outstanding Youth Award (Oversea) from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the NSF-CAREER Award. He received his Ph.D. in solid and computational mechanics from the University of New Mexico in 1989.
did his postdoctoral research at Northwestern University from 2008 to 2010. He has been a faculty member at Tsinghua University since 2010, and is now an
associate professor in the School of Aerospace Engineering.His research interests include multiscale simulation, meshfree particle methods and impact dynamics.
He received the Natural Science Award from Chinese Ministry of Education in 2009, Du Qing-Hua Medal & Young Researcher Award of Computational Methods in Engineering in 2012, the ICACM Young Investigator Award in 2013.
