The organizers of the 12 HSTAM2019 International Congress on Mechanics Profs. Euripides Papamichos, George Manolis and Vlasis Koumousis would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the Congress which is planned for 22-25 September in Thessaloniki, Greece

The conference is dedicated to the memory of late Professor Ioannis Vardoulakis on the occasion of 10th years from his death in recognition of his contributions and achievements in Mechanics. A special session in honor of Professor Vardoulakis is organized by Professors Panos Papanastasiou (University of Cyprus) and Ioannis Stefanou (Ecole des Ponts, Paris Tech, France).

Abstract submission is open until 30 December 2018.

Please visit the website of the congress  www.12hstam2019.gr for more information and a list of the specialized Mini-Symposia that you can submit your abstract including the Special Session for Prof. Ioannis Vardoulakis.

A mini symposium, entitled ‘Micromechanics of rock deformation and its impact on rock-fluid system interactions’, is organised by Elli-Maria Charalampidou, Sergei Stanchits and Francesco Cecinato during the 12^th HSTAM 2019 International Congress on Mechanics, which will take place in Thessaloniki (Greece) from the 22^nd to the 25^th of September 2019.

Following the success of last year, we are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the Winter School on Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment (https://gete-school.epfl.ch/), which will be held on January 22nd-24th 2019, in Villars-sur-Ollon, Switzerland. Geomechanics, Environment and Energy are increasingly related and contemporary themes. The goal of the school is to provide participants with a deep understanding on selected topics in Geomechanics which are fundamental for applications related to Energy and the Environment. This Winter School is organized in the framework of the international journal Geomechanics for Energy and the Environment.

NTNU’s Geotechnical Group offers a PhD Course in Soil Modelling from September 3rd to 9th, 2018.

The course provides a background for development and application of the soil models used in finite element based computer codes. It focuses on soil behaviour, elasto-plastic theory, selected material models and their parameters. The aim is to provide a general theoretical framework for interpretation of the mechanical behaviour of soils.

The course is at postgraduate/PhD level. It is based on a combined mathematical and graphical approach but is designed to give a platform for practical application in geotechnical design.

Please see the attached file for further details.
