We present in this note an innovative software environment, called Interactive Ground Water (IGW), for unified deterministic and stochastic ground water modeling. Based on efficient computational algorithms, IGW allows simulating three-dimensional (3D) unsteady flow and transport in saturated media subject to systematic and "random" stresses and geological and chemical heterogeneity. Adopting a...

In the present work, we have analyzed effect of anisotropy on void growth and stress–strain behavior for materials that exhibit remarkable tension–compression asymmetry (i.e., zirconium alloys). For purpose, performed finite element simulations using a cubic 3D cell with spherical inside subjected to periodic boundary conditions. Nonlinear kinematic constraints are also imposed as conditions in...

Submarine landslides are a major marine geohazard affecting resilience of offshore infrastructure and coastal urban centers. Attention has previously been paid to quantifying post-failure dynamics catastrophic submarine debris flows their consequences. However, pre-failure initiation growth small slip surface evolving into large landslide still less understood. This study aims explore the physi...

Object Movies (OMs) have been successfully used in many applications. However, the techniques for acquiring OMs still need to be improved if high-quality and efficient OMs are desired. In this paper, we present a method for calibrating a motorized object rig to facilitate the acquisition of OMs. We first apply the CPC kinematic model to formulate the 3D configuration of the device, and then pro...
