Nowadays, strong multi-physics coupling characterizes the new challenging problems in the field of geomechanics. Enhanced theoretical bases and the merging of various disciplines are bringing about novel approaches for solving complex problems. In this context, the numerical methods play a crucial role, since they provide tools which allow to leap beyond the experimental investigation, to describe complex geometries, extended domains and long-time scales of the natural physical processes.

A short course on Multi-physics processes in geomechanics by coupled numerical analysis is organized at the Politecnico di Milano  on august 30, 2022 within the 2022 IACMAG Conference. The short course is aimed to give hints about some aspects of coupled analyses, where the interactions of pore water, chemical reactions and mechanical response in two and three phases porous materials are explicitly modelled. Details about the course contents and lecturers are in this booklet. Further information about registration and fees can be found here.
