In addition,members of the Anura3D MPM Research Community will present the highlights of their research in the past two years.The conference will be accompanied by the launch of an edited text book’The Material Point Method for Geotechnical Engineering: a Practical Guide’.and fcIllowed by an Anura3D software training course on Friday 1 1 January 2019. We promise all participants an unforgettable experience in Cambridge. C0nference Topics Papers should be related but are not limited to the main themes of the conference:numerical mode11ing of soilwater-sturcture interaction.1arge deformation of soil,and free surface flow.They can be about the ufndamental theories or practical applications wiht an emphasis on one of the following topics.They can be of experimental nature if hte results are valuable for benchmarking and verifying computational models. Numerical formulations: ● Material Point Method(MPM) ●0ther numerical methods for modelling large deformation in geomechanics and moving boun. daries in fluid mechanics,e.g.Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH),Moving Particle Semi— implicit(MPS) method,Discrete Element Method(DEM),lattice Boltzmann method, particle finite element method Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian(ALE)method,Volume of Fluid(VOF)method,level set method,immersed boundary method. ● Coupling analyses in geomechanics and fluid mechanics ● Constitutive models ● Seepageflow ● Sediment transport and deposition.erosion& SCOUr ● Soil—water interface mechanics Experiments,benchmarks and case studies: ●Experimental investigation of large defamation problems at field.model or 1aboratory scale ●Forensic engineering:reverse analysis of failure events and natural hazards ● Case studies and benchmark solutions for 1arge deformation problems Applications in geotechnical and hydraulic englneenng: ●Slope liquefaction and breaching ●Dredging processes,jetting,cutting ● Installation problems on—and offshore.pile installation.sheet pile walls ● Impact problems(soil compaction.failing wind turbines,etc.) ●Landslides ●Dike and breakwater stability and reinforcement ● Soil investigation,e.g.pile load testing,CPT simulation,etc. Important Dates ●Submission of ifrst dr硪f2—3 pages)01/07/201 8 ●Notiflcation ofreview results 01/09/2018 540 ● Submission of ifnal paper(3—4 pages) early registration 0 1/1 0/20 1 8 ● Conference days 8—10/01/2019 ● Anura3D training course 1 1/01/2019 L0Catl0n The conference will take place at Churchill College,University of Cambridge,UK.The C of Cambridge is in the south east of England.80 kilometers north of London.It is well served by road and rail links.and is within an easy distance of major London airports.The Universiyt of Cambridge tom— prises more than l 50 departments.faculties.schools and other institutions.Plus a central adminis仃ation and 3 1 independent and autonomous colleges.The collegiate structure gives a strong sense of community, and the Universiyt is at the forefront of international scholarship and research.Throughout the last 800 years,its contribution to the world has ranged from the discovery of the mechanism of blood circulation to the structure Of DNA.from the great philosophers of the early l5th Century to the groundbreaking work Of its many Nobel Prize winners.The Geotechnical and Environmental Engineering Group has developed world.class laboratory facilities and computational models to study the soiUwater/structure interaction.
