Computational Geomechanics Group

Leader: Dr Akbar Javadi

Welcome to the Computational Geomechanics web pages. We are a group working on development of novel and state-of-the-art numerical techniques and computer models for a wide range of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering applications.

The primary interests of our group lie in the areas of:

Finite element analysis of geotechnical engineering problems.
Intelligent finite element method and engineering applications.
Application of data mining techniques for constitutive modelling of soils.
Constitutive and finite element modelling of unsaturated soils.
Stochastic finite element method and application to modelling of contaminant transport in unsaturated soils.
Modelling of sea water intrusion and the effects on groundwater quality and desalination processes.
Decision support system for sustainable management of contaminated land.
study of structural performance of an innovative storm water collection system.
Application of optimisation and parameter identification techniques to inverse problems.
Evolutionary optimisation.
Topological optimisation and design of microstructure of auxetic materials.
