Ciclo di seminari e corso dottorale online di M. Veveakis – giugno 2021 – Università degli Studi di Milano
Vi segnaliamo un ciclo di 3 seminari e un corso dottorale breve che il prof. Manolis Veveakis (Duke University, North Carolina, USA) terrà nel mese di giugno, organizzati dal Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra dell’Università degli Studi di Milano.
I seminari, in modalità telematica, riguarderanno i temi “Mechanics of catastrophic landslides ” (8 giugno), “Mechanics and physics of chemically active shear zones“ (11 giugno) e “Multiphysics instabilities during diagenesis of shale gas reservoirs” (14 giugno).
Il corso dottorale è intitolato “Multiphysics Geomechanics for Earth Science applications: from resource engineering to fault mechanics” e si terrà il 24-25 giugno sia in modalità telematica che in presenza, presso l’Università Statale a Milano. Chi fosse interessato a partecipare in presenza può contattare il prof. Francesco Cecinato (francesco.cecinato@unimi.it)

Vacancy on computational geomechanics at BAW (Germany)
About the position: vacancy for a 3-year R&D project within computational geomechanics at BAW Bundesanstalt für Wasserbau Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute Department of Geotechnical Engineering in Karlsruhe, Germany. The R&D-position’s main objective is to improve open source geomechanical analysis tools and to qualify the candidate for research positions.
Duties of the position: The R&D project aims at the validation and further development of poroMechanicalFoam, an openFOAM based FVM-model for hydro-mechanical analysis of flow-structure-soil interactions considering variable soil saturation. Based on analytical solutions and experimental data the impact of spatial and temporal discretization on robustness and accuracy shall be determined. The model performance shall be tested based on case studies from the geotechnical engineering practice at BAW considering representative aspects among others anisotropy of the mechanic and/or hydraulic properties, advanced soil material models (bounding surface plasticity), variable saturation and gas entrapment below the phreatic surface. In the final stage predictable failure mechanisms are to be addressed within the framework of the second order work concept. If desired, there is possibility for laboratory tests for characterization of soil properties and or/ identification of aspects yet not properly captured in poroMechanicalFoam.
Required selection criteria: The qualification requirement is a completed a master’s degree or second degree (equivalent to 120 credits) with a strong academic background in engineering/physics or closely related discipline.
