Abstract
The Finite Pointset Method (FPM) is a meshfree approach to numerically solve PDEs in fluid dynamics and continuum mechanics. The geometry of the domain is represented by a cloud of numerical points carrying all the necessary information and moving with the material velocity. FPM is a generalized finite difference method as the strong solution of the considered problem is determined by direct approximation of the differential operators. One of the recent applications of FPM is the simulation of triaxial tests in soil mechanics with the material law of barodesy developed by the Division of Geotechnical and Tunnel Engineering at the University of Innsbruck. In soil mechanics the development of appropriate material laws for granular media is important for the research on their mechanical behavior and the development of suitable test procedures to classify and simulate soils.
