The host rock is the natural barrier that hosts the underground structure of the geological disposal facility (GDF). It  has a crucial contribution in either the isolation of the waste (crystalline rock) or the containment of radionuclides in the waste (clay and salt rocks). The host rock can be perturbed by the chemical and physical […]

Abstract Materials degrade in various ways: some corrode, some erode, some fracture. I will discuss our recent results on quantitative predictions for these phenomena. These results are obtained using Peridynamic (PD) models, which offer new ways to simulate complex problems by eliminating restricting assumptions inherent in classical models, like differentiability of the unknowns. I will […]
