Mini-Simposio “Theoretical, Numerical and Physical Modelling in Geomechanics”, Roma, Settembre 2019
In occasione del prossimo convegno organizzato dall’AIMETA (Associazione Italiana di Meccanica Teorica e Applicata), che si terrà a Roma Sapienza dal 15 al 19 Settembre 2019 (http://www.aimeta2019.it/), è stato organizzato un Mini-Simposio, proposto da Claudio Tamagnini, Cristina Jommi e Angelo Amorosi, dal titolo “Theoretical, Numerical and Physical Modelling in Geomechanics: from the micromechanics of granular materials to geotechnical engineering applications”.
È possibile inviare sommari entro il 28 Febbraio 15 Marzo 2019, seguendo le indicazioni riportate in http://www.aimeta2019.it/autori/. Le memorie (in lingua inglese) saranno pubblicate da Springer nella serie “Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering”, indicizzata in Scopus e WOS.
Si auspica una qualificata e numerosa partecipazione all’evento.

ALERT Geomaterials – Newsletter
Segnaliamo la possibilità di iscriversi alla newsletter di ALERT (Alliance of Laboratories in Europe for Education, Research and Technology) tramite l’apposito modulo del sito http://alertgeomaterials.eu/ .
The Alliance of Laboratories in Europe for Education, Research and Technology (ALERT) “Geomaterials” has been created in 1989 by Roberto Nova, Manuel Pastor, Ian Smith, Peter Vermeer, Olek Zienkiewicz and Félix Darve as a pioneering (at that time!) effort to develop a European School of Thinking in the field of the Mechanics of Geomaterials. The generic name “Geomaterials” is viewed as gathering together materials, whose mechanical behaviour depends on the pressure level, which can be dilatant under shearing and which are multiphase because of their porous structure. So, the “geomaterials” label brings together mainly soils, rocks and concrete. It has been obvious from the very beginning that there is a crucial need for a joint Graduate School in order to build firmly this European scientific group in the Mechanics of Geomaterials, in close link with the doctoral students.
The main areas of interest are
– micromechanics and constitutive modelling for geomaterials
– engineering, failure, strain localisation and instabilities
– large scale computations for geomaterials and geostructures
– integrity of geostructures and inverse analysis in geomechanics
– environmental geomechanics and durability of geomaterials
The core activity represents the annual meeting with ALERT Workshop and ALERT Doctoral School.
