A strategy to couple the material point method (MPM) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) computational techniques
A strategy is introduced to allow coupling of the material point method (MPM) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) for numerical simulations. This new strategy partitions the domain into SPH and MPM regio...
