Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a phenomenon widespread in science and engineering, ranging from biomedical to aeronautics applications among many others. In spite of this great relevance, FSI models have struggled to account for two aspects:
1. Incorporating structural failure.
2. Incorporating complex contitutive behavior of the solid.
We have developed a novel particle-based framework to model FSI problems that can incorporate both the above aspects with ease.
