The 18th U.S. National Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (USNCTAM). USNCTAM will be held Chicago, Illinois, USA, June 4 – 9, 2018. We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the Computational Geomechanics Minisymposium (Symposium ID: 110).

This mini-symposium is intended to provide a forum for researchers to present contributions to recent advances in computational geomechanics. Topics within the scope of interests include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) development and validation of constitutive models that address multi-physical coupling effects, (2) discrete and continuum formulations for geomechanics problems, (3) models for fluid induced fracture propagation, (4) iterative sequential couplings for fluid and solid solvers interacting with phase fields, (5) uncertainty quantification for geomechanics problems, (6) multiscale geomechanics, (7) machine-soil interaction and contact mechanics of geo-materials, (8) wave propagation in soils and rocks, (9) regularization techniques to circumvent pathological mesh dependence, (9) data-driven and machine learning techniques for computational geomechanics and (10) the relevant techniques to verify and validate geomechanical models at material point and in field-scale applications.

Abstract Submission Deadline November 10, 2017
