Course “Hypoplasticity for Practical Applications” for academia and practitioners
A course on hypoplasticity taught by D. Masin will take place at Charles University in Prague, 16-17. 9. 2014. The course will first introduce fundamentals of soil constitutive modeling, then basics of hypoplasticity formulation and subsequently the lectures will focus on proper calibration of two particular models: model for sands and model for clays. The course will end with discussion of examples of practical applications of hypoplastic models. More details, including the course outline and the speaker profile, can be found at

Advanced course on Modeling of Localized Inelastic Deformation
Advanced course on Modeling of Localized Inelastic Deformation taught by Milan Jirásek will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, on 15-19 September 2014. This course provides an overview of modeling approaches used in the mechanics of inelastic materials and structures, with special attention to the objective description of highly localized deformation modes such as cracks or shear bands.
