The posters that have been presented during the 25th ALERT workshop are now available on a dedicated page. The booklet of the poster session (ISBN 978-2-9542517-2-1) can be downloaded here.
The presentations of the ALERT workshop 2014 are now available online.
The 2-year postdoc position is part of an EPRSC (UK Research Council) grant that has recently been awarded to the University of Sheffield on “High speed granular debris flows: new paradigms and interactions in geomechanics”. More details at the webpage.
The position involves a 12-months contract at Deltares for the “Numerical modeling of impact and vibratory driven offshore piles with MPM”. The position is part of a larger project to translate field test results of monopile installation to sites with other densities and pile diameters using the numerical MPM approach. Supervisor is prof Frits van Tol from Delft University of Technology. More details in pdf.
The MECAMAT 2015 National Workshop will take place from 26 to 30 January 2015 at Aussois. The Workshop is about materials under extreme loadings (high velocities and pressures). More informations can be found in the attached pdf documents (1, 2) and on the following web site (in french): http://mecamat2015.ec-nantes.fr
Like in the previous years, a collection of photographs by David Mašín documents the Workshop of ALERT Geomaterials in Aussois 2014. The focus is on the PhD prize (a report will follow) and the Special lecture by Prof. Itai Einav. Thanks, David!
The invited Special Lecture during the ALERT Workshop 2015 will be presented by Prof. Hans Muhlhaus from the University of Queensland. The envisaged title of his talk is Mechanical and hydraulic instabilities in Geomechanics.
The presentations of the ALERT Doctoral School 2014 are now available online. The accompanying book of the Doctoral School can be downloaded here.
At its meeting in Aussois, September 2014, the ALERT Board of Directors approved four submitted applications for the membership in the ALERT Geomaterials association:
(associated membership)
With this decision, the number of the member institutions of ALERT Geomaterials increased to 34!
