Research Interests
Dr Javadi's main research interest is in the field of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering in general, and Computational Geomechanics in particular. This includes:
- Development and applications of a fully coupled transient hydro-thermo-mechanical finite element model for unsaturated soils (computer code UNSATEX),
- Development and applications of a coupled transient finite element model for contaminant transport in unsaturated (and saturated) soils (computer code CONTAMEX),
- Development and engineering applications of an Intelligent Finite Element Method,
- Finite element modelling of multiphase flow and transport in dual porosity media,
- Finite element modelling of oil and gas reservoirs,
- Development of Decision Support System for sustainable management of contaminated land,
- Behaviour of reinforced soils,
- Numerical modelling of compressed air tunnelling,
- Constitutive modellingof soils,
- Application of Artificial Neural Network for material modelling,
- Development of a hybrid optimisation method based on neural network and genetic algorithm (NeuroGA),
- Numerical modelling of pipejacking,
- Evolutionary optimisation and applications to parameter identification and inverse problems,
- Topological optimisation of auxetic materials.
