Here are links to several useful programs for teaching and research:
- Nestor
Cardozo's Archive:
Archive of programs for the Macintosh OSX 10.3.9 and above written by Nestor
Cardozo (click here). Programs are free for academics
and include a structural geology calculator (OSXGeoCalc), a
backstripping program (OSXBackstrip), a flexural modeling
program (OSXFlex2D),
and a forward, 3D Trishear modeling program (Trishear3D).
- Rick
Allmendinger's Archive:
Archive of programs for the Macintosh OS written
by Richard Allmendinger of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
Includes a stereonet plotting program, a fault kinematics program, a
microstructural analysis program, and several structural geology teaching
programs. A Windows version of the Stereonet program is
now available.
- Rod
Holcombe's Archive:
This site contains Windows programs written by Rod Holcombe
at the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Queensland in
Australia. Software includes GEOrient
(stereonets and rose diagrams), GeoCalculator
(structural geometry calculator), GeoFryPlots
(Fry strain analysis), and others.
- ScienceProf.Com:
Company run by Declan DePaor and Carol Simpson
providing web- and PC-based teaching and research resources from K-12
through Ph.D. Click here
to download a free evaluation copies of Dr. DePaor's new Structural
Analysis course on CD ROM.
- David
Pollard's Archive:
Archive
of programs written by researchers in David Pollard's group at
Stanford University for the structural and mechanical analysis of
faulting, fracturing, and earthquake deformation. Includes Windows, UNIX,
and LINUX versions of the boundary element code Poly3D, the code Poly3Dinv
for inverse problems, and a Windows graphical user interface Poly3DGUI.
