Abstract
The material point method is ideally suited to modelling large deformation problems in three dimensions, especially in cases where the finite element method struggles due to mesh distortion. However, when the method is used to analyse problems with near-incompressible material behaviour, such as in geotechnical engineering using models with isochoric plastic flow, it suffers from severe volumetric locking. This causes the method to over predict the forces for a given displacement and induces spurious stress oscillations through the problem domain. Several methods have been proposed in the finite element literature but few of these have been applied to the material point method. In this paper we present a way to avoid volumetric locking for three-dimensional material point analyses with simplex elements (linear tetrahedra) using an F bar patch approach. Not only does the technique avoid the over-stiff behaviour associated with volumetric locking but it also reduces the stress oscillations in the method, which are often attributed to cell-crossing instabilities. The formulation is validated against two three-dimensional benchmark problems.
