651-1180-00L | Research Seminar Structural Geology and Tectonics | 0 KP | 1S | N. Mancktelow, J.‑P. Burg, M. Frehner | |
Kurzbeschreibung | A seminar series with both invited speakers from both inside and outside the ETH. | ||||
Lernziel | The seminar series provides an opportunity to convey the latest research results to students and staff. | ||||
Inhalt | Informal seminars with both internal and external speakers on current topics in Structural Geology, Tectonics and Rock Physics. The current program is available at: http://www.geology.ethz.ch/sgt/seminar/sgt_seminar.htm | ||||
651-3321-00L | Erdwissenschaftliches Kartenpraktikum I Nur für ERDW BSc, Regl. 2010 und BSc Erdsystemwissenschaften UZH, d.h. Studierende im dritten Semester oder höher. | 2 KP | 2P | M. Frehner | |
Kurzbeschreibung | Einführung in das Lesen und Konstruieren von einfachen geologischen Karten. Konstruktion von geologischen Profilen. Einführung in die Lambert'sche Projektion und Schmidt'sches Netz (Stereoplots). Dieses Praktikum lebt in erster Linie von Übungen, die die Studierenden unter Anleitung selbst lösen. | ||||
Lernziel | Verbesserung des geologisch relevanten dreidimensionalen Vorstellungs- und Darstellungsvermögens. Fähigkeit geologische Karten zu lesen und interpretieren, sowie geologische Profile zu zeichnen. Handhabung des Schmidt'schen Netzes üben, damit später eigene Felddaten dargestellt werden können. | ||||
Inhalt | Strukturlinien, Symbole wahre und scheinbare Mächtigkeiten von geologischen Schichten wahrer und scheinbarer Einfallswinkel V-Regel Dreipunkteprobleme Diskordanzen Verwerfungen Einführung in die Lambert'sche Projektion Falten Magmatische Strukturen | ||||
Skript | Aufgabenstellungen und Anleitungen werden abgegeben und sind auf Moodle erhältlich. | ||||
Literatur | Semesterliteratur ist in der ERDW-Bibliothek erhältlich. | ||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Dieser Kurs ist zwar nicht Vorraussetzung, jedoch extrem hilfreich für den Terrainkurs II. | ||||
651-4003-00L | Numerical Modelling of Rock Deformation | 3 KP | 2G | M. Frehner | |
Kurzbeschreibung | Introduction to the programming software Matlab. Learning and understanding the continuum mechanics equations describing rock deformation. Mathematical equations describing rock rheology: elasticity + viscosity. Introduction to the finite-element method for modeling rock deformation in 2D. A small applied project-work at the end of the semester will be tailored to the student's interest. | ||||
Lernziel | At the end of this course, the students should be able to - Use Matlab for their future needs (e.g., for their MSc Thesis) - Understand the fundamental concept of the finite-element method - Apply the finite-element method to successfully work on a small project tailored to the student's interests. In addition, innovative methods will be applied to mark the performance in the course, which includes self-evaluation and peer-evaluation among the students. Therefore, some soft-skills will be required and trained as well, such as - honest self-evaluation and self-grading - providing honest feedback to a colleague in a tone that is acceptable - receiving feedback from a colleague without taking criticism personal - learning the procedure of scientific peer-evaluation | ||||
Inhalt | Introduction to Matlab Continuum mechanics equations necessary to describe rock deformation Rheological equations: elasticity + viscous materials Introduction to the finite-element method (in 1D) Numerical integration + isoparametric elements Going to 2D finite elements Finite-element method for 2D elasticity Stress calculation + visualization Finite-element method for 2D viscous materials Heterogeneous media Final project-based work tailored to the student's interest. A substantial part of the lecture will take place in the computer-lab, where numerical finite element codes will be applied. The used software is Matlab. Students may bring their own laptop with a pre-installed copy of Matlab. | ||||
Skript | The script is very diverse and ranges from PowerPoint-based pdf-files, to self-study tutorials. Also, the more theoretical and mathematical aspects will be explained on the black board without a proper script. All lecture-presentations, as well as the numerical codes, will be made available to the students online. | ||||
Literatur | There is no mandatory literature. The following literature is recomended: Turcotte D.L. and Schubert G., 2002: Geodynamics, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0-521-66624-4 Pollard D.D. and Fletcher R.C., 2005: Fundamentals of Structural Geology, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 978-0-521-83927-0 Ranalli G., 1995: Rheology of the Earth, Chapman & Hall, ISBN 0-412-54670-1 Smith I.M. and Griffiths D.V., 2004: Programming the Finite Element Method, John Wiley & Sons Ltd, ISBN 978-0-470-849-70-5 Zienkiewicz O.C. and Taylor R.L., 2000: The Finite Element Method - Volume 1: The Basis, Butterworth Heinemann, ISBN 0-7506-5049-4 | ||||
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | A good knowledge of linear algebra is expected. The used software is Matlab. So, knowledge of Matlab is advantageous. Students may bring their own laptop with a pre-installed copy of Matlab. |
