Bifurcation and Degradation of Geomaterials in the New Millennium
This book contains contributions to the 10th International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials held in Hong Kong, May 28-30, 2014. This event marks the silver Jubilee anniversary of an international conference series dedicated to the research on localization, instability, degradation and failure of geomaterials since 1988 when its first workshop was organized in Germany. This volume of book collects the latest progresses and state-of-the-art research from top researchers around the world, and covers topics including multiscale modeling, experimental characterization and theoretical analysis of various instability and degradation phenomena in geomaterials as well as their relevance to contemporary issues in engineering practice. This book can be used as a useful reference for research students, academics and practicing engineers who are interested in the instability and degradation problems in geomechanics and geotechnical engineering.
Multiscale Processes of Instability, Deformation and Fracturing in Geomaterials
· Proceedings of 12th International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomechanics (IWBDG2022) held on 28 November - 1 December 2022 at the University of Western Australia, in Perth, Australia. The book concentrates on deep understanding of the processes of bifurcation and instability in geoengineering systems. The book covers multiscale processes from the scale of crystals to rocks to rock masses. The book considers a wide range of accompanying phenomena from liquefaction to seismicity and landslides. · Topics covered are: I. Localisation and instability in geomaterials II. Fracturing, failure and seismicity III. Deformation processes Intended readership: Universities and Consulting and Research organisations, research students, academics and engineers working in the fields of geomechanics, rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
Dynamic Damage and Fragmentation
Engineering structures may be subjected to extreme high-rate loading conditions, like those associated with natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis, rock falls, etc.) or those of anthropic origin (impacts, fluid–structure interactions, shock wave transmissions, etc.). Characterization and modeling of the mechanical behavior of materials under these environments is important in predicting the response of structures and improving designs. This book gathers contributions by eminent researchers in academia and government research laboratories on the latest advances in the understanding of the dynamic process of damage, cracking and fragmentation. It allows the reader to develop an understanding of the key features of the dynamic mechanical behavior of brittle (e.g. granular and cementitious), heterogeneous (e.g. energetic) and ductile (e.g. metallic) materials.

Geometric Science of Information
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Geometric Science of Information, GSI 2019, held in Toulouse, France, in August 2019. The 79 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 105 submissions. They cover all the main topics and highlights in the domain of geometric science of information, including information geometry manifolds of structured data/information and their advanced applications.
Bifurcations, Instabilities and Degradations in Geomaterials
Geomaterials exhibit complex but rich mechanical behaviour with a variety of failure modes ranging from diffuse to localized deformation depending on stress, density, microstructure, and loading conditions. These failure modes are a result of an instability of material and/or geometric nature that can be studied within the framework of bifurcation theory. Degradation is another related phenomenon arising from cyclic loading, ageing, weathering, chemical attack, and capillary effects, among others. The methodology of analyzing the various types of instabilities is crucial in the adequate modelling and safe design of numerous problems in geomechanics. The present volume contains a sampling of enlarged versions of papers presented at the International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradations in Geomaterials (IWBDG 2008) held in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada, May 28-31, 2008. These papers capture the state-of-the-art in the specialized field of geomechanics and contemporary approaches to solving the central issue of failure. Some engineering applications are presented in the areas of energy resource extraction and soil-machine interaction.
Multiscale Modeling of Heterogenous Materials
A material's various proprieties is based on its microscopic and nanoscale structures. This book provides an overview of recent advances in computational methods for linking phenomena in systems that span large ranges of time and spatial scales. Particular attention is given to predicting macroscopic properties based on subscale behaviors. Given the book’s extensive coverage of multi-scale methods for modeling both metallic and geologic materials, it will be an invaluable reading for graduate students, scientists, and practitioners alike.
