Dear mechanicians, I was wondering if it would be possible to add a new Forum topic on Geomechanics?

Cheers,

Dorival. 

Dear all, I would like to know if there is anyone working with the Material Point Method for simulations in Geomechanics (or other fields...).

Thanks,

Dorival. 

I was wondering if someone has interests on working with the material point method.

Cheers,

Dorival. 

Schlumberger, in relation with its R&D effort related to Co2 Storage
(http://www.slb.com/carbonservices), is looking for a highly innovative
and motivated individual with a background in geo-mechanics to join its
multi-disciplinary engineering team. A PhD in a field related to
geo-mechanics (Solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, civil engineering,
geophysics etc.) is necessary. No prior work experience is required. The
candidate must have experience in numerical  and analytical modeling:
not only running codes but also developing them. In particular, a
knowledge of the following phenomena is desired:

MechSys is a C++ library to help the implementation of software for Mechanical Systems. There are 4 main modules in the library:

The 7th North American Workshop on Applications of the Physics of Porous Media will be held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, November 2-6, 2007. This will be the 7th biennial meeting of researchers around the world who are interested in the phenomena associated with physics of fluid flow and deformation in porous media and its applications to a broad range of basic roblems encountered in geophysics, geomechanics, medical physics, and condensed matter physics.
