By applying these methods to linear elasticity and elastoplasticity footing cases, we found that physics-informed learning equipped with DRM-based loss functions shows more excellent accuracy in forwardly computing displacement but poor accuracy in predicting strain and stress. Physics-informed learning with CPM-based loss functions shows more excellent performance in inverse analysis than their forward-solving ability.

Often the intricate nature of the wall-soil-column interaction is simulated using simplified averaging techniques based on elasticity theory. This paper introduces a numerical technique to accurately describe the nonlinear elastoplastic response of both stabilised and natural soft clay for the case of excavations stabilised with deep-mixed columns. The technique allows mapping the 3D problem into a plane-strain (2D) counterpart by replacing the composite material made of natural clay and a region of overlapping deep-mixed columns with an equivalent homogenised material. The stress–strain response of the homogenised continuum is computed with a volume averaging technique (VAT) based on the volume fraction of each component (i.e. clay and column). The technique is implemented into a 2D finite element code enabling an effective representation of the behaviour of each constituent represented by advanced elastoplastic material models. After presenting the theoretical background and implementation procedure, the proposed method was verified against the results from the 3D calculations. The technique emerges as an efficient tool for the numerical analysis of stabilised deep excavations since it allows for plane strain analysis to yield results akin to computationally expensive 3D analysis.

However, their ability to address general contact issues in geomechanics remains limited. Directly handling contact using discrete geometry often results in local locking, a common challenge in particle-based methods like DEM and LSM. This work introduces a level set approach to overcome this limitation. Block and granular geometries are represented by a level set function, which is also employed to manage contact interactions between blocks and granules. A specialized contact algorithm is developed for the lattice model using a signed distance function (SDF) that accounts for lattice discretization. The new LS-4D-LSM demonstrates its capability to solve complex contact problems through various numerical examples, including both deformation and fracturing of blocks. Given that contact plays a key role in many geomechanics tests, incorporating realistic contact behavior into these analyses leads to a more accurate fit with experimentally observed data. This suggests that the digital twin concept could be a powerful tool for analyzing experimental data in geomechanics. The proposed method is also applicable to other numerical approaches, such as DEM, enhancing their ability to handle deformable and fragmentable blocks or granules.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55217,"journal":{"name":"Computers and Geotechnics","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 107124"},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143357316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a sparse-memory-encoding framework that incorporates advanced algorithms to address these limitations in large-scale simulations. We introduce a novel algorithm for atomic-free dual mapping between material points and nodes, in conjunction with warp-wise particle-to-grid mappings organized within a block-cell-material point hierarchy. Moreover, the framework features an efficient memory shift algorithm that optimizes memory usage for material properties. This optimization enables the seamless integration of commonly used material constitutive models, including elastic, elastoplastic, and hyper-plastic models, as well as various iteration schemes such as “update stress first”, “update stress last”, and “modified update stress last” within a cohesive framework. Furthermore, the framework accommodates incorporating diverse boundary conditions, such as Dirichlet, Neumann, and arbitrary-shaped rigid body contact, thus broadening its applicability to real-world engineering challenges, including landslides.
