Bifurcations, Instabilities and Degradations in Geomaterials

Geomaterials are endowed with microstructures that make them heterogeneous even at relatively large scales. Hence, failure in geomaterials has the characteristic feature of occurring in a variety of modes, with a continuous transition from diffuse to localized deformations depending on the stress, density, and type of loading. Indeed, material failure and degradation are local material instability phenomena that can be studied within the framework of bifurcation theory.
This special volume contains a sampling of papers as extended versions of the various presentations given at IWBDG 2008. It captures the state-of-the-art in the specialized field of geomechanics and contemporary approaches to solving the central issue of failure.
