We are excited to announce that we have been working on the introduction of hydro-mechanical (H-M) coupling in our Irazu FDEM software. The introduction of H-M coupling arguably makes the Irazu software one of the…
Geomechanica is launching a guest blog series, written by experts and numerical modellers in the field of rock engineering. In the first post of this series, we’re showcasing the work of Andrés Alcolea on “A…
Geomechanica wishes to direct your attention to the latest issue of the Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering , which features a series of papers involving the application of advanced numerical modelling to various…
Understanding and predicting the the rock mass mechanical response to temperature variations is relevant for a number of geo-engineering applications, including: underground disposal of nuclear waste, geothermal energy extraction, underground LNG storage, geological sequestration of…
The ability to capture increasingly complex behaviours within a numerical simulation is typically accompanied by an increase in the number of input parameters that must be specified. Inevitably, with additional physics come additional parameters to…
