espm: A Python library for the simulation of STEM-EDXS datasets

Cécile Hébert, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Nathanaël Perraudin, Hui Chen, Guillaume Romain Obozinski, Hui Chen, Adrien Maxime Louis Teurtrie

We present two open-source Python packages: "electron spectro-microscopy"(espm) and "electron microscopy tables"(emtables). The espm software enables the simulation of scanning transmission electron microscopy energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy datacubes ...

Data-driven 1D wave propagation for site response analysis

Jean-François Molinari, Antonio Joaquin Garcia Suarez, Sacha Zenon Wattel

Prediction of ground motion triggered by earthquakes is a prime concern for both the seismology community and geotechnical earthquake engineering one. The subfield occupied with such a problem is termed site response analysis (SRA), its one-dimensional fla ...

Surface roughness evolution in adhesive wear processes

Enrico Milanese

Geological faults movements generating earthquakes, a vehicles' tyres rolling on the pavement, and a chalk writing on a blackboard are all different examples of frictional systems. In these systems, which are everywhere around us, two separate bodies are i ...

Kariba plunge pool rehabilitation

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Azin Amini, Ivan Stojnic, Claudia Ylla Arbos

The Kariba Dam is a 128 m high arch dam located on the Zambezi River, between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It forms the Kariba lake, with a surface of 5400 km2 and a capacity of 185 km3. In the 20 years following dam construction, heavy rainfalls required frequent ...

On uncertainty quantification in hydrogeology and hydrogeophysics

Fabio Nobile

Recent advances in sensor technologies, field methodologies, numerical modeling, and inversion approaches have contributed to unprecedented imaging of hydrogeological properties and detailed predictions at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Nevertheless ...

Efficient global optimization of reservoir geomechanical parameters based on synthetic aperture radar-derived ground displacements

Francesco Comola

When large volumes of fluids are removed from or injected into underground formations for, e.g., hydrocarbon and water production, CO_2 storage, gas storage, and geothermal energy exploitation, monitoring of surface deformations coupled to numerical modeli ...

Geotypen : ein neues Konzept zur Optimierung geologischer Informationen für die Raumplanung

Aurèle Parriaux, Pascal Turberg

When we have to valorise the geological information for land planning or engineering applications, it is difficult to integrate the large complexity of the maps of the Swiss Geological Atlas at the scale of 1:25'000. The heterogeneity of the legends betwee ...

Analysis of TBM tunnelling performance in faulted and highly fractured rocks

Erika Paltrinieri

The thesis focuses on the study of the performance of TBMs in highly jointed and faulted rocks. Despite the great production rates recorded in favourable ground conditions, the TBM advance can be significantly slowed down in limiting geological situations ...

Alternative conceptual models and the robustness of groundwater management scenarios in the multi-aquifer system of the Central Veneto Basin, Italy

Andrea Rinaldo

A three-dimensional (3D) groundwater flow model of the deep multi-aquifer Quaternary deposits of the Po plain sedimentary basin, within a 3,300-km(2) area (Veneto, Italy), is developed, tested and applied to aid sustainable large-scale water-resources mana ...
