Axisymmetric BEM analysis of layered elastic halfspace with volcano-shaped mantle and cavity under internal gas pressure

This paper presents an axisymmetric BEM analysis of layered elastic halfspace with volcano-shaped mantle and cavity under internal gas pressure. The problem is of interest to understand the behavior of volcanoes, tectonic earthquakes and other oil and gas reservoirs. The volcano-shaped mantle ground topography and the internal spherical or ellipsoidal cavity are added to the conventional model of layered halfspace. The analysis uses the...
