1.5D BASED INVERSION OF LOGGING-WHILE-DRILLING RESISTIVITY MEASUREMENTS IN 3D FORMATIONS
(2017-06)This manuscript describes an extension of a computer method developed for the fast inversion of logging-while-drilling (LWD) resistivity measurements Pardo and Torres-Verdín (2015); Bakr et al. (2016). The method enables ... -
1D Painless Multi-level Automatic Goal-Oriented h and p Adaptive Strategies Using a Pseudo-Dual Operator
(2022-01-01)The main idea of our Goal-Oriented Adaptive (GOA) strategy is based on performing global and uniform h- or p-refinements (for h- and p-adaptivity, respectively) followed by a coarsening step, where some basis functions are ... -
2.5-D Deep Learning Inversion of LWD and Deep-Sensing em Measurements Across Formations with Dipping Faults
(2022-01-01)Deep learning (DL) inversion of induction logging measurements is used in well geosteering for real-time imaging of the distribution of subsurface electrical conductivity. We develop a DL inversion workflow to solve 2.5-D ... -
3D hp-Adaptive Finite Element Simulations of Bend, Step, and Magic-T Electromagnetic Waveguide Structures
(2014-03)Metallic rectangular waveguides are often the preferred choice on telecommunication systems and medical equipment working on the upper microwave and millimeter wave frequency bands due to the simplicity of its geometry, ... -
5-axis double-flank CNC machining of spiral bevel gears via custom-shaped milling tools -- Part I: modeling and simulation
(2019-11-20)A new category of 5-axis flank computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining, called \emph{double-flank}, is presented. Instead of using a predefined set of milling tools, we use the shape of the milling tool as a free ... -
5-axis double-flank CNC machining of spiral bevel gears via custom-shaped tools – Part II: physical validations and experiments
(2021-10)Recently, a new methodology for 5-axis flank computer numerically controlled (CNC) machining, called double-flank machining, has been introduced (see “5-axis double-flank CNC machining of spiral bevel gears via custom-shaped ... -
Accessibility for Line-Cutting in Freeform Surfaces
(2019-04-26)Manufacturing techniques such as hot-wire cutting, wire-EDM, wire-saw cutting, and flank CNC machining all belong to a class of processes called line-cutting where the cutting tool moves tangentially along the reference ... -
Adaptive Solution of a Singularly-Perturbed Convection-Diffusion Problem Using a Stabilized Mixed Finite Element Method
(2019-01-05)We explore the applicability of a new adaptive stabilized dual-mixedfinite element method to a singularly-perturbed convection-diffusion equation withmixed boundary conditions. We establish the rate of convergence when the ... -
Adjoint-based formulation for computing derivatives with respect to bed boundary positions in resistivity geophysics
(2019-02)In inverse geophysical resistivity problems, it is common to optimize for specific resistivity values and bed boundary positions, as needed, for example, in geosteering applications. When using gradient-based inversion ... -
An Agent-Oriented Hierarchic Strategy for Solving Inverse Problems
(2015-12-31)The paper discusses the complex, agent-oriented hierarchic memetic strategy (HMS) dedicated to solving inverse parametric problems. The strategy goes beyond the idea of two-phase global optimization algorithms. The global ... -
Algebraic equations for constant width curves and Zindler curves
(2022-03)An explicit method to compute algebraic equations of curves of constant width and Zindler curves generated by a family of middle hedgehogs is given thanks to a property of Chebyshev polynomials. This extends the methodology ... -
An Algorithm based on continuation techniques for minimization problems with highly non linear equality constraints
(2021)We present an algorithm based on continuation techniques that can be applied to solve numerically minimization problems with equality constraints. We focus on problems with a great number of local minima which are hard to ... -
Analysis of extreme wave events on the southern coast of Brazil
(2014-12-31)Using the wave model SWAN (simulating waves nearshore), high waves on the southwestern Atlantic generated by extra-tropical cyclones are simulated from 2000 to 2010, and their impact on the Rio Grande do Sul (RS) coast is ... -
Approximations for traveltime, slope, curvature, and geometrical spreading of elastic waves in layered transversely isotropic media
(2021-10)Each seismic body wave, including quasi compressional, shear, and converted wave modes, carries useful subsurface information. For processing, imaging, amplitude analysis, and forward modeling of each wave mode, we need ... -
Arithmetic method of double-injection-electrode model for resistivity measurement through metal casing
