This session will highlight the latest advancements in computational geomechanics, with a focus on multi-physical couplings such as thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes. Key topics include:
- Constitutive modeling of complex visco-elasto-plastic material behavior
- Fracture propagation and damage evolution in geomaterials, including advanced regularization techniques such as gradient-based and nonlocal approaches (e.g., phase-field methods)
- Applications in geothermal energy, CO2 sequestration, oil and gas recovery, and nuclear waste disposal
