International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics

A number of interdisciplinary subjects such as soil and rock mechanics, mechanics of structures and foundations, earth-structure interaction, offshore and marine technology, oil and fluid flow and diffusion, geological engineering, geothermal energy, and ice mechanics constitute geomechanics. Constitutive laws assume special importance in view of the complex nature of the geologic materials.

This journal covers theory, formulations and applications of numerical and analytical methods, constitutive laws and recent developments, and is useful to the researcher and practitioner. Computer programs are included if they are accompanied by adequate description of theory and documentation; in the case of long programs, theoretical basis and applications are published in the journal if the program, with documentation, is available to the reader on request.

The scope includes advancements in developments of new and emerging areas such as environmental geotechnology, geotextiles, reinforced earth structures, probabilistic and optimization techniques, and interpretation (back analysis) of in situ and laboratory measurements and centrifuge testing. Development and use of expert systems, robotics, interactive graphics, efficient algorithms for supercomputers with parallel processing, and microcomputers for design and analysis are within the scope of the journal. [Above statements taken from the journal's stated aim and scope.]
