Abstract:

The properties which models for simulating natural geological structures should have, can be defined by the theory of physical similitude and by available information regarding the mechanical properties of rocks. By means of tests with models, laws and supplementary facts have been established which in natural geological structures it would be either highly laborious or impossible to detect. This applies primarily to the study of structural details of the earths crust down to great depths, to tracing the history of the development of deformations and faults throughout very long periods of time, to studying the stressed state of the crust, and to determining the physical conditions for the occurence of deformations and faults of definite types. Consequently, modeling is a technique capable of advancing the solution of various geological and geophysical problems.
