Scholar-generated biography
David W Airey is a Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Sydney, specializing in geotechnical engineering. His research focuses on the mechanical behavior of soils and rocks, particularly carbonate sands and coals, under various environmental and loading conditions. He investigates the effects of CO2 adsorption, cementation, and cyclic loading on soil and coal properties. His work includes experimental and numerical studies on permeability, strength, and microstructural changes in geotechnical materials. Airey's research also explores the application of advanced methods such as the Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian approach for dynamic analysis of geotechnical problems.
