Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Geotechnical engineering
  • Thermodynamics
  • Composite material

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geotechnical engineering, Constitutive equation, Soil water, Expansive clay and Porosity. Antonio Gens combines subjects such as Hydraulics, Plasticity, Finite element method, Degree of saturation and Isotropy with his study of Geotechnical engineering. His research in Constitutive equation intersects with topics in Work and Soil mechanics.

Antonio Gens has included themes like Moisture and Plastic dissipation in his Soil water study. As a part of the same scientific study, Antonio Gens usually deals with the Expansive clay, concentrating on Full scale and frequently concerns with Computer simulation. His studies in Porosity integrate themes in fields like Permeability, Water content, Vadose zone, Oedometer test and Water retention curve.

His most cited work include:

  • A Constitutive Model for Partially Saturated Soils (1672 citations)
  • A framework for the behaviour of unsaturated expansive clays (476 citations)
  • Numerical formulation for a simulator (CODE_BRIGHT) for the coupled analysis of saline media (419 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Geotechnical engineering, Constitutive equation, Radioactive waste, Mechanics and Soil water are his primary areas of study. His work deals with themes such as Expansive clay and Finite element method, which intersect with Geotechnical engineering. His research integrates issues of Creep, Softening, Degree of saturation and Plasticity in his study of Constitutive equation.

His Radioactive waste research integrates issues from Fully coupled, Thermal and Borehole. The Mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Penetration and Porous medium. Soil water and Water content are frequently intertwined in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geotechnical engineering (58.87%)
  • Constitutive equation (16.67%)
  • Radioactive waste (13.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Geotechnical engineering (58.87%)
  • Mechanics (13.83%)
  • Finite element method (10.99%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Antonio Gens mainly focuses on Geotechnical engineering, Mechanics, Finite element method, Discrete element method and Radioactive waste. His Geotechnical engineering study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Constitutive equation and Dissipation. His work on Lattice Boltzmann methods as part of his general Mechanics study is frequently connected to Hydrostatic equilibrium, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

His Finite element method research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Poromechanics, Effective stress, Soil water, Biot number and Consolidation. His Discrete element method study combines topics in areas such as Granular material, Penetration and Work. His study in Radioactive waste is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bentonite, Spent nuclear fuel and Full scale.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Grading evolution and critical state in a discrete numerical model of Fontainebleau sand (33 citations)
  • Coupled effective stress analysis of insertion problems in geotechnics with the Particle Finite Element Method (29 citations)
  • Sphericity measures of sand grains (18 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Geotechnical engineering
  • Composite material

Antonio Gens focuses on Mechanics, Discrete element method, Radioactive waste, Sphericity and Granular material. His Mechanics research incorporates elements of Consolidation, Stress path, Poromechanics and Finite element method. The Radioactive waste study combines topics in areas such as Nuclear engineering, Bentonite and Natural barrier.

His Granular material study also includes fields such as

  • Shearing that connect with fields like Discrete element model, Liquefaction, Uniqueness, Solid mechanics and Soil water,
  • Breakage which connect with Dilatant, Anisotropy and Shear strength. Antonio Gens connects Dilatometer with Geotechnical engineering in his study. Antonio Gens has researched Geotechnical engineering in several fields, including State variable and Series.
