Abstract Meshfree methods have experienced substantially fundamental development and various applications. One distinguished advantage for meshfree methods is that they can relieve the mesh tangling burden of FEM and are more suitable for finite deformation analysis. In this work a three dimensional updated Lagrangian Galerkin meshfree formulation with improved computational efficiency is presented to analyze the failure of soil slopes. This nonlinear meshfree formulation is featured by the Lagrangian stabilized conforming nodal integration method where the low cost nature of nodal integration approach is kept and at the same time the numerical stability is obtained as… More >
