MULTISCALE NUMERICAL MODELLING OF GEOMATERIALS – a short course in Grenoble (August 29 and 30, 2022)
The response of geomaterials at the engineering scale depends on their microstructure and the mechanisms occurring at small scale. Starting from imaging geomaterials under selected loading conditions, it is possible to study and then model the mechanisms occurring at the small scale. The results of this process can be used to inform macro scale models in a physics-based manner.
This short course is meant to introduce such innovative techniques:
- the first half-day session will take place at the Synchrotron in Grenoble. There will be the opportunity to visit this unique and innovative imaging facility and to learn the basic concepts of full-field measurement.
- the second half-day session will take place at Laboratoire 3SR on the Grenoble university campus. Lectures will introduce multiscale modelling and discuss different methods as DEM, FEMxFEM, FEMxDEM. Selected engineering and material science applications will be presented. After lunch, a bus will be organized for all participants to move to Torino for the official beginning of the IACMAG conference.

Hydro-mechanical instabilities in low permeability geomaterials
The topic deals with the experimental identification of quantitative interactions between the micro-structure of low permeability geomaterials, the heterogeneous fluid flow through them and their deformation. In particular coupled hydro-mechanical instabilities, say couplings between fluid fingering and strain localization, will be quantitatively investigated. The study is developed within the framework of the ANR project called «STOWENG» underground STOrage of reneWable ENergies in low permeability Geomaterials.
Starting date: 2021-01-01
