Σύνοψη	Geomechanical modeling is the numerical simulation of stress and deformation in rock masses, integrating rock properties, pressure conditions, and geometric constraints. Rooted in classical mechanics (Coulomb, Mohr) but modernized by finite element and finite difference methods, this approach is essential for well integrity assessment, reservoir compaction prediction, and stability evaluation of slopes and excavations. Models link subsurface geology to rock mechanical behavior.	Geophysical inversion is the process of using observed geophysical data to estimate subsurface properties and structures. Formalized by Tikhonov (1963) and expanded by Tarantola (1987), this mathematical framework solves the inverse problem: given measurements (gravity, magnetics, seismic, electrical), what subsurface model produced them? Inversion is central to all quantitative geophysics and enables extraction of detailed subsurface information from surface or borehole measurements.
