Richard Wan is Professor with the Department of Civil Engineering
at the University of Calgary, Canada. He sits on the Editorial
Board of several international journals and was the Vice-Chair of
the TC103 (Numerical Methods) of the ISSMGE from 2009-2017.
François Nicot is a graduate from « Centrale de Lyon »school. He
joined Cemagref (now IRSTEA) in 2000, where he currently works as
Research Director.
He has been Editor-in-Chief of the international journal "European
Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering" since 2009, and
co-directs the GDRI (international research group) GeoMech since
2008.
Author of more than 150 international publications, his research
focuses on the geomechanics and behavior of granular materials.
Felix Darve obtained his Master's degree from Ecole Centrale Paris
(1971), followed by a PhD in Grenoble (1978) on the constituent
relations of geomaterials. He was promoted professor of exceptional
rank at the Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble.
He is former director of the National School of Hydraulics and
Mechanics of Grenoble, the national laboratory of CNRS GRECO
"Geomaterials" and the European network of laboratories ALERT
"Geomaterials". He was deputy director of the department
"Mechanics" at the Ministry of Research.
Currently, F. Darve is editor-in-chief of Int. J. Num. and Anal.
Meth. In geomechanics (Wiley publ.). He has edited or co-edited 14
books, published by Elsevier, Springer, Hermes, Iste, Balkema, ...
and has written or co-authored 260 articles in peer-reviewed
journals or book chapters.
His three main topics of interest are (i) the development of
incrementally non-linear constitutive relationships, (ii) the
analysis of bifurcations, instabilities and failures in granular
materials and (iii) the modeling of three-phase granular media.
