The title of the ALERT Doctoral School 2016 is Modelling of instabilities and bifurcation in Geomechanics. It will take place in Aussois, October 6-8, 2016. The school organisers are J. Sulem (ENPC Paris), I. Stefanou (ENPC Paris), E. Papamichos (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), M. Veveakis (UNSW Sydney).
The ALERT Geomaterials Workshop 2016 will be organized from Monday, 3 October till Wednesday, 5 October in Aussois, France. It will include the following sessions:
Session 1 (Monday, October 3)
New trends in micromechanical approaches of Particulate Materials – experiments and modelling aspects
Coordinators: M. Karstunen, N. Benahmed, M. Hattab
Session 2 (Tuesday, October 4)
Mechanics of multiphase porous media in modelling cementitious materials: from early ages to durability issues
Coordinators: F. Pesavento, M. Briffaut, L. Sanavia
(a half-day workshop)
Session 3 (Wednesday, October 5)
Geomechanics of faults, with applications spanning from earthquake nucleation to landslides
Coordinators: M. Veveakis, I. Stefanou, K. Regenauer-Lieb, J. Sulem
ALERT Doctoral School on Modelling of instabilities and bifurcation in Geomechanics will follow the workshop.
