Call for Papers
The conference is dedicated to Professor Hans Muhlhaus, on the occasion of his 70th birthday, in recognition of his contributions and his achievements in the field of Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials.
A 1-day special session dedicated to Hans Muhlhaus will be organized by Professors Elena Pasternak (elena.pasternak@uwa.edu.au) and Arcady Dyskin (arcady.dyskin@uwa.edu.au).
Authors are invited to submit a paper in English for oral or poster presentation at the Workshop. The papers will be published in the Proceedings of the Workshop by Springer to be distributed at the Workshop.
