Finite element modelling of unsaturated soils using a modified version of the Barcelona Basic Model [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 In this paper, unsaturated soil behaviour is numerically simulated using a modified version of the Barcelona Basic Model. The model has been implemented as a User-Defined Soil Model (UDSM) in the finite element code PLAXIS.

Separable subsurface scattering [PDF]
ACM SIGGRAPH 2012 Computer Animation Festival, 2012 Due to the parallel advances in hardware and software, graphics in games are continuously improving. Still, for a 60-fps game, everything contained in a frame must be computed in just about 16 milliseconds. Given this tight time budget, certain effects cannot be computed and are simply not simulated, sacrificing realism to reallocate resources to other

International Journal of Astrobiology, 2018 AbstractWe study the prospects for life on planets with subsurface oceans, and find that a wide range of planets can exist in diverse habitats with ice envelopes of moderate thickness. We quantify the energy sources available to these worlds, the rate of production of prebiotic compounds, and assess their potential for hosting biospheres. Life on these

Subsurface Texture Mapping [PDF]
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2006 Subsurface scattering within translucent objects is a complex phenomenon. Designing and rendering this kind of material requires a faithful description of their aspects as well as a realistic simulation of their interaction with light. This paper presents an efficient rendering technique of multilayered translucent objects.

Machine learning application for prediction of sonic wave transit time - A case of Niger Delta basin
Results in Engineering, 2023 Sonic wave transit times are the major logs for estimating pertinent geomechanical parameters including overburden stress, pore pressure, effective stress, and unconfined compressible strength among others.

Automated Cloud Based Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network Based SWE Prediction
Frontiers in Water, 2020 Snow derived water is a critical component of the US water supply. Measurements of the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) and associated predictions of peak SWE and snowmelt onset are essential inputs for water management efforts.

A Comparative Study on the Dynamic Tensile Strength Evaluation Method of Rock Materials
Shock and Vibration, 2023 The representative calculation methods of dynamic tensile strength applied to the spalling test are comparatively reviewed in the same experimental cases. The results are compared with those of the ISRM suggested dynamic BD method.

Subsurface Topographic Modeling Using Geospatial and Data Driven Algorithm
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021 Infrastructures play an important role in urbanization and economic activities but are vulnerable. Due to unavailability of accurate subsurface infrastructure maps, ensuring the sustainability and resilience often are poorly recognized.

Developments in 3D Visualisation of the Rail Tunnel Subsurface for Inspection and Monitoring
Applied Sciences, 2022 Railway Tunnel SubSurface Inspection (RTSSI) is essential for targeted structural maintenance. ‘Effective’ detection, localisation and characterisation of fully concealed features (i.e., assets, defects) is the primary challenge faced by RTSSI engineers,

Reproducibility in Subsurface Geoscience
Earth Science, Systems and Society, 2021 Reproducibility, the extent to which consistent results are obtained when an experiment or study is repeated, sits at the foundation of science. The aim of this process is to produce robust findings and knowledge, with reproducibility being the screening tool to benchmark how well we are implementing the scientific method.
