Plate tectonics is a theory that describes the evolution of Earth’s lithosphere. The lithosphere is broken up in a set of regions called plates moving on the fluid-like asthenosphere; due to this motions earthquakes, volcanic activity and orogeny occur along plates boundaries. The relative motions of plates determine the type […]

We are investigating geomechanical problems in the presence of fractures and faults. We suppose that the physical model consists of two parts: the solid component representing the crust porous material, and the fluid component that represents water and, eventually, oil and/or gas. The solid model is then augmented taking into […]
by A. Quarteroni and F. Saleri “The authors present details about the MATLAB and Octave environments, with information about how the two products can be acquired. The readers will find a useful set of about 60 references to books and articles about numerical methods and algorithms. If you work on […]

by A. Quarteroni, R. Sacco and F. Saleri Springer, 1st ed., 2000 “I found many of the examples to be quite interesting. I find no fault with any of the theoretical portions of the text. The authors are quite thorough in their discussion of the theory underlying each of the […]
by A. Quarteroni, R. Sacco and F. Saleri Springer, 2nd ed., 2007 This book provides the mathematical foundations of numerical methods and demonstrates their performance on examples, exercises and real-life applications. This is done using the MATLAB software environment, which allows an easy implementation and testing of the algorithms for […]
Our environmental module system gives access to several toolchains, all based on the GlibC Linux library and a specific GCC suite. Check with the command module avail to list the active toolchains.
SPEED – SPectral Elements in Elastodynamics with Discontinuous Galerkin SPEED is a discontinuous Galerkin spectral element code for the reliable prediction of near-fault ground motions and seismic response of strategic structures in complex 3D scenarios. It could be employed to establish collapse-prevention strategies for strategic structures located in the proximity […]
We have addressed the problem of salt diapirism. When a salt layer (what remains of an old sea) is buried, it compact less than the surrounding sediments. At a result its density becomes smaller than the rocks above and we have an unstable configuration. As a result salt starts moving […]
