Advanced course on Modeling of Localized Inelastic Deformation (LID 2018), taught by Milan Jirásek in Prague, Czech Republic, 3-7 September 2018.
This course provides an overview of modeling approaches used in the mechanics of inelastic materials and structures, with special attention to an objective description of highly localized deformation modes such as cracks or shear bands. It is one of the RILEM educational courses. The course is intended for graduate students at the doctoral level, but it can be equally useful to motivated master students, post-doctoral researchers, or senior researchers who are not specialists in this field.
For details see http://mech.fsv.cvut.cz/~milan/course2018.html
For registration please contact Milan.Jirasek@fsv.cvut.cz .
A PhD position is available at the University of Adelaide in Australia on the “Failure Mechanism and true Post-peak Response of Rocks”.
