Applications

Research Applications of IGEOSS’ Technology.

Since 1993, scientists using the academic versions of Poly3D, and now Dynel2D/3D, have been intensively active, publishing more than 250 scientific papers, theses and abstracts related to fracture mechanics and numerical modeling of tectonic processes.

Below is a snapshot of several research applications.

Fracture Mechanics

Orthogonal cross joints: Do they imply a regional stress rotation? T. Bai et al., (2002), Journal of Structural Geology, v. 24, p. 77-88.

Structural Geology

Displacement and interaction of normal fault segments branched at depth: Implications for fault growth and potential earthquake rupture size. R. Soliva et al. (2008), Journal of Structural Geology, v. 30, p. 1288-1299.

Active Tectonics

Using geomechanical modeling to constrain the fault geometry within the Marmara Sea, Turkey. J. R. Muller and A. Aydin (2005), Journal of Geophysical Research, v. 110, p. B03407.

Earthquakes

Integrating high-precision aftershock locations and geodetic observations to model coseismic deformation associated with the 1995 Kozani-Grevena earthquake, Greece. P. G. Resor et al. (2005), Journal of Geophysical Research, v. 110, p. B09402.

Volcanoes

How a tectonic earthquake may wake up volcanoes: Stress transfer during the 1996 earthquake–eruption sequence at the Karymsky Volcanic Group, Kamchatka. T. R. Walter (2007), Earth and Planetary Science Letters, v. 264, p. 347-359.

Medical Sciences

Fracture risk evaluation of the weakened human mandible using finite element techniques. C. Delaval (2005), Master thesis, Laboratoire Efficience et Déficience Motrices, Montpellier, France, p. 32
