The successful prediction of earthquakes is one of the holy grails in Earth Sciences. Traditional predictions use statistical information on recurrence intervals, but those predictions are not accurate enough. In a recent paper, a machine…
Structured soils with regular meshes of metric size holes implemented in first ten meters of the ground have been theoretically and experimentally tested under seismic disturbance this last decade. Structured soils with rigid inclusions…
Dynamic substructuring (DS) methods encompass a range of techniques to decompose large structural systems into multiple coupled subsystems. This decomposition has the principle benefit of reducing computational time for dynamic simulation…
The excavation process in mechanized tunneling can be improved by reconnaissance of the geology ahead. A nondestructive exploration can be achieved in means of seismic imaging. A full waveform inversion approach, which works in the…
When applying the Earth's natural pulse electromagnetic fields to geophysical prospecting one should take into account characteristics of their spatial and temporal variations. ENPEMF is known to include both pulses attributed to…
The phase-field method has become in recent years the method of choice for simulating microstructural pattern formation during solidification. One of its main advantages is that time-dependent three-dimensional simulations become feasible.…
This paper deals with the formulation, calibration, and validation of a Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) for the simulation of the pressure-dependent inelastic response of granular rocks. LDPM is formulated in the framework of…
Deformation analyses of tailings dams under dynamic conditions require using earthquake records as input loading. Moreover, these records must represent the local seismicity, expressed by ground motion power indicators denominated intensity…
Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is an epitaxy method for thin film deposition of single crystals. MBE is widely used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices, including transistors, and it is considered one of the fundamental tools for the…
Imaging geological structures through cosmic muon radiography is a newly developed technique particularly interesting in volcanology. Here we show that muon radiography may be efficient to detect and characterize mass movements in shallow…
Mangroves play a crucial role in maintaining coastal ecosystem health and protecting biodiversity. Therefore, continuous mapping of mangroves is essential for understanding their dynamics. Earth observation imagery typically provides a…
We report on early stages of submonolayer Ag island coarsening on Ag(111) surface at room temperature ($300$ K) carried out using realistic kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations. We find that during early stages, coarsening proceeds as a…
Signals obtained in land seismic surveys are usually contaminated with coherent noise, among which the ground roll (Rayleigh surface waves) is of major concern for it can severely degrade the quality of the information obtained from the…
In this paper the relaxed micromorphic material model for anisotropic elasticity is used to describe the dynamical behavior of a band-gap metamaterial with tetragonal symmetry. Unlike other continuum models (Cauchy, Cosserat, second…
Artificial reefs (ARs) are man-made structures deployed on the seabed to support benthic marine ecosystems. Their presence significantly damps the local flow and therefore can be used for scour protection of offshore wind monopiles.…
Material science methods aim at developing efficient computational schemes for describing complex many-body effects and how they are revealed in experimentally measurable properties. Bethe-Salpeter equation in the self-consistent…
In submerged sandy slopes, soil is frequently eroded as a combination of two main mechanisms: breaching, which refers to the retrogressive failure of a steep slope forming a turbidity current, and, instantaneous sliding wedges, known as…
The data-driven Marchenko method is able to redatum wavefields to arbitrary locations in the subsurface, and can, therefore, be used to isolate zones of specific interest. This creates a new reflection response of the target zone without…
Past efforts to interrogate the mantle's contribution to Earth's topography suffer from inadequate in-situ measurements of true bathymetry and the involvement of an empirical plate model whose presumed lithospheric density profile…
This paper reviews recent literature results on the mechanics of structures formed by layers of pentamode lattices alternating with stiffening plates, which can be effectively employed for the development of seismic isolation devices and…
