Improved coupling of finite element method with material point method based on a particle-to-surface contact algorithm

For extreme deformation problems, material point method (MPM) takes competitive advantages compared with finite element method (FEM) which often encounters mesh distortion. However, for small deformation problems, FEM is still more efficient and accurate than MPM in most cases. Hence, a coupled fini...
