Abstract
The material point method (MPM) has been gaining increasing popularity as an appropriate approach to the solution of coupled hydro-mechanical problems involving large deformation. In this paper, we survey the current state-of-the-art in the MPM simulation of hydro-mechanical behaviour in two-phase porous geomaterials. The review covers the recent advances and development in the MPM and their extensions to capture the coupled hydro-mechanical problems involving large deformations. The focus of this review is aiming at providing a clear picture of what has or has not been developed or implemented for simulating two-phase coupled large deformation problems, which will provide some direct reference for both practitioners and researchers.
