    Abstract The Material Point Method (MPM) is more expensive in terms of storage than other methods, as MPM makes use of both mesh and particle data. Therefore, it is critical to develop an efficient MPM framework for engineering applications, such as impact and explosive simulations. This paper presents a new architecture for MPM computer code, developed using object-oriented design, which enables MPM analysis of a mass of grains, large deformation, high strain rates and complex material behavior. It is flexible, extendible, and easily modified for a variety of MPM analysis procedures. An MPM scheme combining contact More >
