該雜志的目的是發(fā)表關(guān)于地質(zhì)力學(xué)的研究成果，其質(zhì)量最高，并具有持久的重要性，其重點(diǎn)是在地質(zhì)能源生產(chǎn)和儲(chǔ)存方面的應(yīng)用，以及土壤和巖石與自然和工程環(huán)境的相互作用。特別注意新能源地球技術(shù)的概念和發(fā)展，這些技術(shù)包括保護(hù)環(huán)境免受潛在工程引起的破壞的內(nèi)在機(jī)制，從而保證可持續(xù)地利用能源。雜志的范圍是廣泛的，包括地質(zhì)力學(xué)和多孔介質(zhì)力學(xué)的基本概念，實(shí)驗(yàn)和分析新的現(xiàn)象和應(yīng)用。特別令人感興趣的問(wèn)題是由于特定的物理、化學(xué)和生物的外力，以及孔隙流體/氣體和礦物與介質(zhì)骨架的固體力學(xué)和孔隙流體力學(xué)的耦合而產(chǎn)生的。現(xiàn)象與行為表征之間的多尺度和跨尺度交互也特別令人感興趣。對(duì)這些問(wèn)題的一般理論方法的貢獻(xiàn)，但對(duì)地質(zhì)力學(xué)在能源和環(huán)境方面的潛在參考也是最受歡迎的。該雜志的目的是促進(jìn)科學(xué)理解各種地質(zhì)材料的過(guò)程，包括由技術(shù)和自然誘導(dǎo)的過(guò)程，以及它們與潛在機(jī)制的關(guān)系。化學(xué)、生物、熱和力學(xué)性質(zhì)、變量和場(chǎng)耦合的內(nèi)在性質(zhì)，使相關(guān)問(wèn)題有別于經(jīng)典地質(zhì)力學(xué)中的問(wèn)題。因此,強(qiáng)調(diào)基本概念的發(fā)展和融合力學(xué)、物理、地球化學(xué)和geo-biology這樣的概念和應(yīng)用新技術(shù)相關(guān)的地質(zhì)能源生產(chǎn)和儲(chǔ)存的預(yù)防以及對(duì)環(huán)境的破壞,固體和流體力學(xué)的相關(guān)性。

The aim of the Journal is to publish research results of the highest quality and of lasting importance on the subject of geomechanics, with the focus on applications to geological energy production and storage, and the interaction of soils and rocks with the natural and engineered environment. Special attention is given to concepts and developments of new energy geotechnologies that comprise intrinsic mechanisms protecting the environment against a potential engineering induced damage, hence warranting sustainable usage of energy resources.The scope of the journal is broad, including fundamental concepts in geomechanics and mechanics of porous media, the experiments and analysis of novel phenomena and applications. Of special interest are issues resulting from coupling of particular physics, chemistry and biology of external forcings, as well as of pore fluid/gas and minerals to the solid mechanics of the medium skeleton and pore fluid mechanics. The multi-scale and inter-scale interactions between the phenomena and the behavior representations are also of particular interest. Contributions to general theoretical approach to these issues, but of potential reference to geomechanics in its context of energy and the environment are also most welcome.The purpose of the Journal is to foster scientific understanding of various processes in geomaterials, both induced by technology and natural, and their relationship to the underlying mechanisms. The intrinsic nature of coupling of chemical, biological, thermal and mechanical properties, variables and fields distinguishes the related problems from those in classical geomechanics. Thus, emphasis is placed on the development and fusion of fundamental concepts in mechanics, physics, geochemistry and geo-biology and applications of such concepts to novel technologies related to geological energy production and storage as well as to the prevention of the damage to the environment, in which solid and fluid mechanics of geomaterials is of relevance.
