AMPLE - A Material Point Learning Environment

AMPLE is a quasi-static implicit implementation of the material point method in MATLAB.
More informatio about AMPLE can be obtained from the project webapges: https://wmcoombs.github.io/

AMPLE is an elasto-plastic large deformation material point code with a regular quadrilateral background mesh (the main code is ample.m). The continuum framework is based on an updated Lagrangian formation and two different constitutive models are included: linear elasticity and a linear elastic-perfectly plastic model with a von Mises yield surface.

It is suggested that users start by looking at the “index.html” file within the “documentation” folder.
The html files were complied with M2HTML (https://www.artefact.tk/software/matlab/m2html/) and they should provide an overview of the code and how it all fits together. The scripts should also be compatible with MATLAB’s “help” function.
