A numerical model for the evaluation of deformation and stress associated with geological structures is presented. The method is based on a fundamental solution of stress and deformation around a single rectangular indentation at the boundary
of an infinite, elastic half-plane. Groups of indentation of different shape, define displacement boundary conditions representing forms of geological structures. The method is demonstrated by a solution of deformation and stress around a nonpiercing diapiric
A FORTRAN program designed to simplify and duplicate the mental processes which lead to an interpretation of a depositional setting is presented. In order to simplify the geologic interpretation of clastic depositional environments, seven general
The segmentation of univariate and multivariate geological traces is discussed. Competitive algorithms in order of statistical optimality are: global optimization of the likelihood by dynamic programming, hierarchic optimization and split-moving
Regression and trend surface analyses were used to facilitate interpretation of geological history of a stratigraphic interval of the Aratu Unit, Reconcavo Series (Lower Cretaceous) in the Reconcavo Basin, Bahia State, Brazil. The relation between
