Quantum materials are substances with special properties that can only be explained by quantum mechanics. One example is strontium titanate. This material has interesting superconducting and ...

Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) is a numerical method that has become indispensable in geotechnical engineering for simulating the complex behaviour of rock masses composed of distinct blocks ...

Finite element methods (FEM) have long been integral to the analysis and design of geotechnical systems, particularly when addressing issues of soil–structure interaction and extreme deformation ...
