The project deals with modelling of avalanches and landslides in both granular materials as well as soft sensitive clays. The project also focuses on theoretical developments of Material Point Method, constitutive models and numerical framework to allow for realistic modelling of those phenomena.
The project is funded by Finnish Academy. More about the project will be available later – but now, feel free to contact me if you need any information or would like to cooperate.
