@IsotropicMaria Thank you, @IsotropicMaria 🤩

[María Pico @IsotropicMaria]

Today I had the opportunity to attend to a lecture by @IGT_Medicus ✨ thanks for spending time on doing your great animations. They have helped me so much to understand constitutive modeling ✨

[Gertraud Medicus @IGT_Medicus]

@OmarMahdy_ Oh-I am sorry that you have only just seen the announcement. We will do our best to offer similar courses in the future.

[Gertraud Medicus @IGT_Medicus]

⭐ Of all the places I have visited for work, Trondheim|@NTNU is still my favourite.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the soil modelling course that I taught together with Ali Ghoreishian Amiri and Gustav Grimstad.

🤩 I am looking forward to the ALERT Olek Zienkiewicz school 2025 in Prague:
💥 CONSTITUTIVE MODELLING OF GEOMATERIALS 💫
Register soon ⬇️

@tedohare yes, I will be there and I have heard that @MehdiPouragha will be there too ;)
see you soon 🙃

Oh, and I forgot to tag @geogebra. Thanks as always for the great software ⬇️

💥There are different formulations for the Critical State Line (CSL) in void ratio e - mean effective stress p' plane. You can try to fit David Reid's critical state data with some formulations:

Thanks to David for the data 🙏

Ice wedges are fascinating Arctic landforms, and their formation process is not yet clearly understood. Gabriel (Karam) used XFEM to simulate this process.

💥 The summer school "Numerical Modelling in Geotechnical Engineering" has started at @uniinnsbruck with input from Barbara Schneider-Muntau, Franz Tschuchnigg and myself.

Thanks to everyone for joining.
🥳 @vjagodnik finally made it to Innsbruck 🥳
