报告摘要：

Geomaterials are a highly heterogeneous material. The deformation and failure mechanisms of geomaterials are attributed to the microstructure of different scales from atomistic to micro and are coupled. Multiscale characterization and modeling will provide the insights for understanding the behavior of geomaterials and guiding material design. This presentation will cover a range of multiscale characterization methods including AFM, TEM, and CTs; and modeling techniques including MD, DEM, FEM and digital specimen and test techniques for different phenomena of geomaterials.
