Publisher: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Geomechanics is an interdisciplinary field dealing with the mechanical
behaviour of, and fluid flow and transport phenomena in geomaterials (soils,
rocks, concrete, ice, snow, powders and ceramics), and their role in diverse
applications in geological, geotechnical, structural, earthquake,
environmental, mining, offshore and petroleum engineering.

The journal emphasizes contributions to the understanding of the complex
properties of geomaterials through experimental measurements, and the
development or novel use of analytical or numerical techniques to solve
problems in geomechanics.

Topics of interest in material behavior include instabilities and
localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, coupled
chemo-hygro-thermo-mechanical problems, and time-dependent phenomena.

Specifically within the scope of the journal fall the modelling and
simulation of heterogeneous materials at different scales, including
micromechanics, and any issue that bears upon difficulties encountered in
modelling materials where the microstructure becomes important for
macroscopically observed mechanical and physical properties.

The scope also covers the solution of inverse problems including back
analysis of in situ or laboratory tests, and stochastic methods. The journal
is particularly interested in contributions that demonstrate the application
of theoretical geomechanics in the solution of engineering problems.
