David Muir Wood Шаблон:Post-nominals is an academic working in the field of geomechanics (the mechanics of geomaterials) and soil mechanics, famous for having pioneered advances in mathematical modelling of soils, informed by experimental observation. The hallmark of his modelling efforts has been to formulate elegant models that capture the essence of the material response while being accessible to practitioners of Geotechnical engineering.
David Muir Wood is author of a number of books for academic audiences as well as for the general public.
