The Bari workshop on the deformation and failure of geomaterials will expose young researchers to recent developments in the mechanics of granular materials that are relevant to the behavior of geomaterials. Daily classes on modeling, simulation, and experiment will be complimented by invited lectures given by distinguished researchers. The practical problem of interest is the stability of rocky slopes and the possible prediction of landslide initiation. Consequently, the focus of the workshop will be on the deformation and failure of geological materials. Topics to be addressed include the derivation of continuum theories based on particle interactions, the use discrete element simulations of particles in developing continuum theory, the implementation of continuum theories in finite element simulations, and the interpretation of experimental results. The workshop will be held between Sunday, June 14 and June 19, 2009 in a country hotel located in Puglia, Italy. Researchers with backgrounds in engineering, mathematics, physics, and geology are being encouraged to apply. The daily courses, each lasting a total of six hours during the week, will be led by Boris Jeremic (University of California, Davis), Cino Viggiani (Universite Joseph Fourier, France), Julia Morgan (Rice University), and Jean-Noël Roux (Institut Navier, France). The invited lectures will be given by Antonio Gens (Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya, Spain), James Jenkins (Cornell University), David Muir-Wood (Bristol University, UK), and James Rice (Harvard University). This award will support the participation in the workshop of up to eight young U.S. researchers. The support will include both travel and local expenses. The intellectual merit of the proposed activity to the researchers who are supported is the direct benefit derived from the course material and the distinguished lectures. The broader impact of their participation will be their introduction to and interaction with European peers who share their interest in the mechanics of geomaterials and the incorporation of this knowledge into research and teaching materials.

关于地材料的变形和失败的Bari研讨会将使年轻的研究人员接触到与地貌行为相关的颗粒材料力学的最新发展。杰出研究人员的邀请讲座将对建模，模拟和实验的每日课程表示赞赏。感兴趣的实际问题是岩石老虎机的稳定性以及对滑坡计划的可能预测。因此，研讨会的重点将放在地质材料的变形和失败上。要解决的主题包括基于粒子相互作用的持续理论的推导，在开发连续理论中粒子的使用离散元素模拟，有限元模拟中持续理论的实施以及实验结果的解释。研讨会将于2009年6月14日（星期日）至2009年6月19日在意大利普格利亚的一家乡村酒店举行。鼓励具有工程，数学，物理和地质方面背景的研究人员申请。每日课程在一周中总共持续了六个小时，将由鲍里斯·杰里克（Boris Jeremic）（加利福尼亚大学，戴维斯大学），西诺·维吉亚尼（Cino Viggiani）（法国约瑟夫·富尔（Joseph Fourier），法国大学），赖利亚·摩根（Julia Morgan）（赖斯大学）和Jean-NoëlRoux（法国纳维尔（Institututut））领导。受邀的讲座将由安东尼奥·盖斯（Antonio Gens）（西班牙的加泰罗尼亚大学），詹姆斯·詹金斯（James Jenkins）（康奈尔大学），戴维·缪尔·伍德（David Muir-Wood）（英国布里斯托尔大学）和詹姆斯·赖斯（James Rice）（哈佛大学）。该奖项将支持参加多达八名美国年轻研究人员的研讨会。支持将包括旅行和当地费用。拟议活动对得到支持的研究人员的智力优点是从课程材料和杰出的讲座中获得的直接利益。他们参与的更广泛的影响将是他们与欧洲同行的介绍和互动，他们对土地材料的机制以及将这些知识的利用在研究和教学材料中。
