Abstract: The stability of tunnel roof is investigated in nonhomogeneous soils using the theory of plasticity. Based on the nonlinear failure criterion, the expressions of tunnel roof in nonhomogeneous soils are deduced, and the ...

Abstract: Stepped slopes have been widely used in slope and excavation engineering to improve slope stability. On the basis of the three-dimensional (3D) horn failure mechanism, this article proposes a new method to estimate the ...

Abstract: In slope stability analysis, there are two commonly used methods for calculating the factors of safety (FS). The first is the strength reduction method (SRM), which defines the FS as the ratio of the real material shear ...

Abstract: A probabilistic approach is proposed for face stability analysis of subway tunnels, which begins with establishment of multiple failure mechanisms, including active failure and passive failure. In terms of the complex ...

Abstract: iven a biased coupled model and the atmospheric and oceanic observing system, maintaining a balanced and coherent climate estimation is of critical importance for producing accurate climate analysis and prediction ...

Abstract: In this paper, the large-amplitude oscillation of a triple-well non-natural system, covering both qualitative and quantitative analysis, is investigated. The nonlinear system is governed by a quadratic velocity term and ...

Abstract: Various brittle–ductile transition (BDT) criteria have been developed in the literature to estimate the critical conditions for ductile microcutting of brittle materials. This study provides a unified criterion to ...

Abstract: ABSTRACTIn this study, the equidistant cumulative distribution function (EDCDF) quantile-based mapping method was used to develop bias-corrected and downscaled monthly precipitation and temperature for China at 0.5° ? 0.5° ...

Abstract: This work presents a framework for multirobot tour guidance in a partially known environment with uncertainty, such as a museum. In the proposed centralized multirobot planner, a simultaneous matching and routing problem ...

Abstract: As a relatively new type of functional material, porous graphite foam exhibits unique thermophysical properties. It possesses the advantages of low density, high specific surface area, and high bulk thermal conductivity ...
