Descrição
Resumo:The work presented in this Thesis is a set of developments focused on the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) and its applicability in several fields in Civil Engineering. The PFEM had already been proven to be a powerful tool for the free surface flows with large deformation and domain separation, but the application to actual engineering problems requires many more advances. The interaction between the fluid and many solids contacting with each other, the erosion of soils and the transport of small particles are some of these advances, which are main topics addressed in this document. Apart from them, other developments related with the fluid solution are included, which are intended to get deeper than ever before in the practical use of PFEM.
