Description
Numerical modelling has begun a revolution in the available tools and methods with which to study geomechanics. This involves the analysis of geomaterials which are materials whose mechanical behaviour depends on the pressure to which they are subjected. These are mainly concrete, soils and rocks. Numerical modelling makes possible the application of numerical methods to the materials and topics treated here. These include brittle and ductile materials, water saturated and partially saturated geomaterials, large and small strains, steady state and transient problems, soil dynamics, strain localization and applications related to natural hazards.
