Bifurcation and Degradation of Geomaterials with Engineering Applications

Compiles peer-reviewed contributions to the 11th International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials held in Limassol, Cyprus, 21-25 May 2017This volume gathers a series of contributions by leading international experts and scholars in the area, reflecting the new challenges and research advances in the theoretical and experimental geomechanicsIt incorporates a variety of topics such as: experimental modeling of instabilities localization and degradation; constitutive modeling and multi-physical coupling for localization, instability and degradation of geomaterials geomechanics for energy, environment and geophysics; soil-tool/machine interaction; numerical modeling of failure, localized deformation and gravity driven flows; micromechanics and multi-scale analysis of instabilities and degradationThe book will be valuable to graduate students, researchers, and engineers alikeIncludes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
