This is an up-to-date review of developments in the field of bifurcations and instabilities in geomechanics from some of the world's leading experts. Leading international researchers and practitioners of the topics debate the developments and applications which have occurred over the last few decades. Beside fundamental research findings, applications in geotechnical, petroleum, mining, and bulk materials engineering are emphasised.
