Collaboration with Prof. David Amitrano (ISTerre, Université Grenoble Alpes)

Together with Prof. David Amitrano (ISTerre, Université Grenoble Alpes), we are working to continue to develop and improve Dadyn-RS (Riva et al. 2018), a 2D continuum finite-element MatlabTMmodel which integrates damage and time-to-failure laws. The model is able to account for upscaled rock mass properties and fluid pressure distribution in space and time as a function of damage-dependent dilatancy ad connectivity.
