中文简介

期刊欢迎通过创新的实验技术和/或通过在地质力学中发展新的数值或混合的实验/数值模拟概念，实质上有助于理解地质材料（土壤、岩石、混凝土、冰、雪和粉末）的复杂力学行为的手稿。感兴趣的主题包括不稳定性和局部化、界面和表面现象、断裂和失效、多物理和其他随时间变化的现象、微观力学和多尺度方法、逆向分析和随机方法。特别欢迎有关能源和环境问题的论文。鼓励对工程问题提出的方法和技术进行说明。然而，处理现有方法的应用或对现有方法提出增量改进的手稿——特别是现有分析解或数值方法的边际扩展——将不会被考虑审查。期刊出版的论文长度一般不超过20页，通讯量也很短，最多可出版6页。两部分的论文是不鼓励的。

英文简介

The journal welcomes manuscripts that substantially contribute to the understanding of the complex mechanical behaviour of geomaterials (soils, rocks, concrete, ice, snow, and powders), through innovative experimental techniques, and/or through the development of novel numerical or hybrid experimental/numerical modelling concepts in geomechanics. Topics of interest include instabilities and localization, interface and surface phenomena, fracture and failure, multi-physics and other time-dependent phenomena, micromechanics and multi-scale methods, and inverse analysis and stochastic methods. Papers related to energy and environmental issues are particularly welcome. The illustration of the proposed methods and techniques to engineering problems is encouraged. However, manuscripts dealing with applications of existing methods, or proposing incremental improvements to existing methods – in particular marginal extensions of existing analytical solutions or numerical methods – will not be considered for review. The journal publishes full-length papers, which normally will be less than 20 journal pages in length, and short communications, which can be at most 6 journal pages. Two-part papers are discouraged.
