Location: Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France), University of Rome TorVergata (Italy).
The thesis deals with the investigation of the mecanisms of fluid percolation and strain localization through the diffuse interface between high and low permeability geomaterials, as in the above case which mentioned the interface between an acquifer reservoir rock and a sealing tight caprock, see figure.

A PhD position is available at the Division of Solid Mechanics at Lund University to work on a project titled “Investigating the mechanics of geomaterials using neutrons – from the intra- and inter-granular scales to bulk behaviour and transport properties”.
The focus of the project is the quantitative characterisation of the multi-scale processes of deformation and their consequences on material properties of rocks related to natural resource engineering applications, such as CO2 sequestration, hydrocarbon production and water resource management. The project will involve developing novel experiments exploiting neutron diffraction strain scanning and neutron imaging in conjunction with original in-situ experimental devices and analysis procedures. Neutron diffraction will enable characterisation of stress distributions in samples as they deform, whilst neutron tomography will be used to study coupled hydro-mechanical evolution.

Dear all,
We would like to invite you to participate to the first day session of the ALERT workshop 2019 ” Upscaling in Geotechnical Engineering“, which wants to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Roberto Nova. He was one of the founders of our community and participated enthusiastically in its development over the years, with a number of innovative contributions spanning over scales in the field of Geomechanics and Geoengineering.
This session will take place on Monday September 30, and will include some invited lectures to open a lively discussion on multiscale modelling in Geomechanics.
A detailed description of the session is given below and can be found here:
https://alertgeomaterials.eu/2019/02/alert-geomaterials-workshop-2019/
To submit an abstract, please send it directly to the coordinators of the session: (claudio.diprisco@polimi.it; cristina.jommi@polimi.it;claudio.tamagnini@unipg.it, c.jommi@tudelft.nl)
Best regards,
Claudio, Cristina and Claudio
