Influence of loading and heating processes on elastic and geomechanical properties of eclogites and granulites
Abstract Increased knowledge of the elastic and geomechnical properties of rocks is important for numerous engineering and geoscience applications (e.g. petroleum geoscience, underground waste repositories, geothermal energy, earthquake studies, and ...

An optimal design of cluster spacing intervals for staged fracturing in horizontal shale gas wells based on the optimal SRVs
Abstract When horizontal well staged cluster fracturing is applied in shale gas reservoirs, the cluster spacing is essential to fracturing performance. If the cluster spacing is too small, the stimulated area between major fractures will be...

Seismic hazard analysis for central-western Argentina
Abstract In this study, we present a PSHA (Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis) for the city of San Juan, which is located in the central-western region of Argentina (30°S–35.5°S; 66.5°W–71°W). In addition to crustal earthquakes provided by...

Cluster analysis as a tool for evaluating the exploration potential of Known Geothermal Resource Areas
Abstract Although many Known Geothermal Resource Areas in Oregon and Idaho were identified during the 1970s and 1980s, few were subsequently developed commercially. Because of advances in power plant design and energy conversion efficiency since the ...

Determination of Fracture Tectonics of Rocks by Reconstruction of Stresses and Analysis of Displacements
Abstract This report presents an algorithm for determining fault tectonics based on the calculation of stress inversion. The inversion model of stress is a tool that allows not only to reveal the presence of discontinuities, but also to determine...

Modeling drivers of phosphorus loads in Chesapeake Bay tributaries and inferences about long-term change
Abstract Causal attribution of changes in water quality often consists of correlation, qualitative reasoning, listing references to the work of others, or speculation. To better support statements of attribution for water-quality trends, structural...

Energy consumption of an electric and an internal combustion passenger car. A comparative case study from real world data on the Erfurt circuit in Germany
Abstract Electric vehicles promise to contribute to the achievement of a more sustainable transport system, e.g. through reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions. For the assessment of electric vehicles’ environmental impact and for decisions...

Overcoming volumetric locking in material point methods
Abstract Material point methods suffer from volumetric locking when modelling near incompressible materials due to the combination of a low-order computational mesh and large numbers of material points per element. However, large numbers of material ...

Preliminary study of gravimetric anomalies in the Magallanes-Fagnano fault system, South America
Abstract The main objective of this research is to recognize several geological structures associated with the shear zones of the MFFS (Magallanes – Fagnano fault system) by the analysis and interpretation of gravimetric anomalies. Besides, to...

The isotopic composition of CO in vehicle exhaust
Abstract We investigated the isotopic composition of CO in the exhaust of individual vehicles. Additionally, the CO2 isotopes, and the CO:CO2, CH4:CO2 and H2:CO gas ratios were measured. This was done under idling and revving conditions, and for...
