Key Research Interests
My research has primarily focussed on the theory and application of continuum mechanics, with particular attention to geophysical applications. Following are the main areas:
Plasticity
The propagation of elastic-plastic waves and the associated motion of elastic-plastic and plastic-elastic interfaces; existence and uniqueness.
Finite deformation theory; rock mechanics
Linear viscoelasticity
Wave propagation
Thermal stress
Rolling contact
Singular integral equations
Generalised Cauchy and logarithmic kernels; finite Hilbert transforms
Anisotropy
Strongly anisotropic elastic solids
Jointed rock masses
Interacting continua
Fluid flow through a porous deformable matrix
Granular matrix; compaction and shear hysteresis
Earth tide effects
Phase change; singular surfaces; snow melt
Glaciology
Viscoelastic response of ice; impact dynamics
Flow of ice sheets and ice shelves; reduced models
Effects of basal topography; enhanced reduced model
Evolution of fabric-induced anisotropy
Sea ice dynamics; motion of ice packs
