Soil dynamics at extreme deformations

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to conduct a fundamental study of a challenging class of geotechnical problems in which soil undergoes large strains and rapid deformations. The main goal of this project is to discover the fundamental principles governing soil behaviour at large and fast deformation rates. The expected outcomes are an innovative testing device for site investigation purposes, and robust solution and computational procedures for analysing a wide range of problems in soil dynamics. This should benefit government and engineers by providing safer and more cost-effective strategies for the design, construction, and maintenance of Australia's infrastructure.
