Shmulick Pinkert - Researcher Profile
Geotechnical behavior of soils – Dr. Shmulik Pinkert
My research interests deal with mechanical definitions of the soil behavior, using parametric studies, model developments, and laboratory experiments. My research laboratory enables examination of soil in a unique thermodynamic environment, reliable evaluation of the full stress-strain range, operation of high pore pressure, full temperature control and ultrasonic wave measurements. The laboratory is designated to test hydrate-bearing soil; sediment which has been recently studied in the context of energy production. In addition to this research topic, I investigate soil viscosity issues, the stability of underground openings, discrete modeling of soil grains assembling soil sample, and analytic continuum mapping of individual geotechnical test results.
