Edited By A.V. Dyskin, H.-B. Muhlhaus, E. Pasternak Copyright 2001

    This work contains proceedings of a workshop on Bifurcation and Localisation Theory in Geomechanics, held in Perth, Australia in 1999. It covers a range of themes from classic civil engineering subjects to non-linear and non-unique geological phenomena.
