An Improved Material Point Method with Aggregated and Smoothed Bernstein Functions

Nodal shape functions and their gradients are vital in transferring physical information within the material point method (MPM). Their continuity is related to numerical stability and accuracy, and their support domain size affects computational efficiency. In this paper, a scheme of aggregated and...
