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…
We are excited to announce that we have implemented a mechanically-based model of the rock-reinforcement interaction process. The methodology represents an adaptation of the reinforcement elements first developed for FDEM analysis of reinforced concrete (Zivaljic…
Good day, We’re glad to let you know that our article “A New Geomechanical Modeling Approach for Simulating Hydraulic Fracturing and Associated Microseismicity in Fractured Shale Formations” has been featured in ARMA‘s e-Newsletter (Spring 2014):…
