Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

A new variational statement represented in the form of computational algorithm is proposed for elliptic systems of equations, which describe the behavior of structurally inhomogeneous geomedia under static loads. The inverse problem of boundary condition determination and calculated domain orientation from the point data of strain measurement is solved, which makes it possible to simulate adequately the stress-strain state of a rock mass.
