Editorial: Hydromechanical Instabilities in Geomaterials: Advances in Numerical Modeling and Experimental Techniques

study of coupled hydromechanical instabilities, where the notion mechanical instabilities is enriched 13 by complementary (and not necessarily independent) hydraulic with a key role 14 played interfaces and phenomena.Geomaterials are intrinsically multi-phase, porous network being typically saturated mixture Hydromechanical Instabilities in Geomaterials et al. (2009, 2013), to explain formation desiccation cracks soils, an alternate capillarity-driven 73 mechanism proposed at continuum scale.We hope that readers will enjoy reading carefully selected papers on growing exciting research 75 area geomaterials.
