An enhancement of the extended B-spline-based implicit material point method (EBS-MPM) is developed to avoid pressure oscillation and volumetric locking. The EBS-MPM is a stable implicit MPM that enables the imposition of arbitrary boundary conditions thanks to the higher-order EBS basis functions and the help of Nitsche's method. In particular, by means of the higher-order EBS basis functions, the EBS-MPM can suppress the cell-crossing errors caused by material points crossing the background grid boundaries and can avoid both the stress oscillations arising from inaccurate numerical integration and the ill-conditioning of the resulting tangent matrices. Although the higher-order EBS basis functions are known to avoid volumetric locking, the problem of pressure oscillation has not yet been resolved. Therefore, to suppress pressure oscillation due to quasi-incompressibility, we propose the incorporation of the F-bar projection method into the EBS-MPM, which is compatible with the higher-order EBS basis functions. Three representative numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the capability of the proposed method in suppressing both the pressure oscillation and volumetric locking. The results of the proposed method are compared to those of the finite element method with F-bar elements and those of isogeometric analysis with quadratic NURBS elements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
