Description :  The objective of the project is a part of the planned research that is aimed to develop a new class of finite element method to model shear band failures.  In the project, te selected constitutive material description will be integrated into the numerical model.  The theoretical development will lead to a computational model that can be employed to solve engineering problems such as landslides and various soil-structure contact failures.  Towards the end of the project, the developed model would be employed to analyze the breaches of the New Orleans' levee system.
