The Earth below ground is the subject of interest for many geophysical as well as geological
investigations. Even though most practitioners would agree that all available information …

Parametric 3D geological modeling facilitates the efficient updating of geological models. A
comprehensive review of existing geological modeling methods reveals that two critical …

Interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) has demonstrated significant success in
addressing numerous real-world problems that are challenging to quantify mathematically or …

An original method has been developed to model geology using the location of the
geological interfaces and orientation data from structural field. Both types of data are …

We review the methods available for large deformation simulations of geomaterials before
presenting a Lagrangian integration point finite element method designed specifically to …

A hybrid simplex artificial bee colony algorithm (HSABCA) which combines Nelder–Mead
simplex method with artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA) is proposed for inverse analysis …

We report results of a study comparing numerical models of sandbox-type experiments. Two
experimental designs were examined:(1) A brittle shortening experiment in which a thrust …

The challenge of this study was to create a 3D geological and structural model of the
Kasserine Aquifer System (KAS) in central Tunisia and its natural extension into north-east …

The inversion of multiple geoscientific datasets to define structures in hard rock terrains has
for the most part been limited to geophysical methods supported by rock property …

Factors controlling the selection of deformation modes during continental extension are
investigated using analytical and numerical methods. We view the lithosphere as a laminate …
