Preface

Over the last three decades, studies on constitutive models and numerical

analysis methods have been well developed. Nowadays, numerical

methods play a very important role in geotechnical engineering and in a

related activity called computational geotechnics. This book deals with

the constitutive modeling of multiphase geomaterials and numerical methods for predicting the behavior of geomaterials such as soil and rock. The

book

provides fundamental knowledge of continuum mechanics, constitutive

modeling, numerical methods for multiphase geomaterials, and

their applications. In addition, the monograph includes recent advances

in this area, namely, the constitutive modeling of soils for rate-dependent

behavior, strain localization, the multiphase theory, and their applications

in the context of large deformations. The presentation is self-contained.

Much attention has been paid to viscoplasticity, water–soil coupling, and

strain localization.
