Laboratory for geomechanics of CMM was officially launched
TheMathematical Modeling for Geomechanics Laboratory (MMGeo Lab) is the result ofa fruitful collaboration between the team geomechanics from CMM, comprising researchers from the areas ofOptimization and PDE, and the group of rock mechanics from El Teniente-Codelco. Thisinitiative aims to conduct research at the highest level on mathematicalmodeling and computer simulation of the mechanical response of solid rock tomining activity, specifically in the study of new mathematical models rangingfrom elasticity to the optimal location of sensors to...
