Application of Moving Kriging Shape Functions on Plate Problems
NUST Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2008 The Moving Kriging (MK) interpolation was recently proposed as a superior substitution of the Moving Least Square (MLS) approximation in the construction of shape functions for the Element-Free Galerkin Method (EFGM).

Mechanical Failure in Amorphous Solids: Scale Free Spinodal Criticality [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 96, 032907 (2017), 2017 The mechanical failure of amorphous media is a ubiquitous phenomenon from material engineering to geology. It has been noticed for a long time that the phenomenon is "scale-free", indicating some type of criticality. In spite of attempts to invoke "Self-Organized Criticality", the physical origin of this criticality, and also its universal nature ...

Zircon dissolution in a ductile shear zone, Monte Rosa granite gneiss, northern Italy [PDF]
, 2008 The sizes, distributions and shapes of zircon grains within variably deformed granite gneiss from the western Alps have been studied. Zircon shows numerous indicators of a metamorphic response in both the host gneiss and a 5 cm wide continuous ductile ...

Deep Learning-based extraction of surface wave dispersion curves from seismic shot gathers [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Multi-channel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) is a seismic method employed to obtain useful information about shear-wave velocities in the near surface. A fundamental step in this methodology is the extraction of dispersion curves from dispersion spectra, which are obtained after applying specific processing algorithms onto the recorded shot gathers ...

Geology prediction based on operation data of TBM: comparison between deep neural network and statistical learning methods [PDF]
2019 1st International Conference on Industrial Artificial
Intelligence (IAI), 2018 Tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a complex engineering system widely used for tunnel construction. In view of the complicated construction environments, it is necessary to predict geology conditions prior to excavation. In recent years, massive operation data of TBM has been recorded, and mining these data can provide important references and useful ...

Geology and geochemistry of the shear-hosted Julie gold deposit, NW Ghana
Journal of African Earth Sciences, 2015 Abstract The Leo Man Craton in West Africa is host to numerous economic gold deposits. If some regions, such as the SW of Ghana, are well known for world-class mineralizations and have been extensively studied, gold occurrences elsewhere in the craton have been discovered only in the last half a century or so, and very little is known about them.
