Description: The finite element analysis of dynamic penetration of soil deposits, by either free falling or propelled objects, is one of the most sophisticated and challenging problems in geomechanics. A robust numerical method is described here for dealing with such complex and difficult problems. The approach is based on the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method of analysis, whose main features and challenges are briefly described. The ALE method is then employed to perform a parametric study of a variety of penetrometers in layers of inhomogeneous clay deforming under undrained conditions. The effect of the mechanical properties of the clay soil on the penetration characteristics is discussed.
