Abstract: Image-assisted total stations (IATSs) have extensive application prospects in astronomic surveys, deformation monitoring, precision engineering surveying, and topographic mapping. During image processing of data, the angle ...

Abstract: The moon is the brightest celestial body in the night sky, and it is of some value when determining the astronomical azimuth on a cloudy or foggy night or in a light-polluted city when there is no visible star. Based on ...

Abstract: Precise determination of the astronomical azimuth using the local hour angle (LHA) of Polaris is only applicable in northern middle latitudes. Therefore, to achieve fast and precise astronomical orientation in any part of ...

Abstract: Cracking coalescence is the linking process of multiple cracks; the ordinary differential and partial differential equations cannot be solved at the crack coalescence positions. To solve these shortcomings, the asphalt ...

Abstract: The time-dependent hydromechanical behavior of rocks is crucial to assessing the long-term stability of rock engineering, such as reservoir rock slopes and underground waste storage facilities. This research aims at ...

Abstract: The objective of the investigation is to explore the spray evaporation and dispersion characteristics of impinged biodiesel-butanol blends at various n-butanol ratios (0, 10%, 30%, 50%) and ambient conditions. A total of ...

Abstract: With the advantages of saving underground space, small construction impact, and saving cost, the double-O-tube (DOT) shield tunneling construction technology has been used many times in the tunnel construction of particular ...
