Editorial Reviews

Contains papers from a September 1996 conference focusing on recent developments in geomechanics, especially stability of underground openings and problems concerning rock bursts, and the importance of numerical modeling in geomechanics. Sections cover theoretical aspects of mathematical modeling and practical examples, Itasca codes and their applications in geomechanics, and water jet technology. Topics include effects of faults on rockbursts hazard, Newton type solvers for nonlinear boundary value problems, modeling of soil-geotextile interaction for waste disposal, and chaotic behavior of high pressure water jets.
