International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials

13th International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials

Short title: IWBDG2026

Location: Vienna, Austria

Time: 22.-25. June 2026

The Organizing Committee is looking forward to welcoming you at the 13th International Workshop on Bifurcation and Degradation in Geomaterials - IWBDG2026. After the last highly successful meeting of IWBDG in December 2022 at the University of Western Australia, Perth, Australia, the next workshop will take place in Vienna, Austria in June 2026.

Authors are invited to submit an abstract in English for oral or poster presentation at the Workshop. The full paper will be published in the Proceedings of the Workshop by Springer to be distributed at the Workshop. 

1) EXPERIMENTAL MODELING OF INSTABILITIES LOCALIZATION AND DEGRADATION 

2) CONSTITUTIVE MODELING FOR LOCALIZATION, INSTABILITY AND DEGRADATION.

3) GEOMECHANICS FOR ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND GEOPHYSICS.

4) SOIL-TOOL/MACHINE INTERACTION.

5) NUMERICAL MODELING OF LOCALIZED DEFORMATION AND GRAVITY DRIVEN FLOWS.

6) MICROMECHANICS AND MULTI-SCALE ANALYSIS OF INSTABILITIES AND DEGRADATION.
