Abstract: This paper presents a two-dimensional, well-balanced finite-volume model for runup of long waves under nonbreaking and breaking conditions. The model uses a conservative form of the nonlinear shallow-water equations with ...

Abstract: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted a great deal of attention recently owing to their fascinating structural, mechanical, and electronic properties. The failure phenomena in 2D materials can be diverse and ...

Abstract: This paper describes a methodology to assess the severity of a tsunami in progress based on real-time water-level data near the source. The inverse method, which uses tsunami signals in water-level data to infer seismic ...

Abstract: Four events of distinctly low summer ice coverage in the Beaufort Sea, in 1998, 2008, 2012, and 2016, have been identified using satellite-observed concentration between 1979 and 2017. Previous studies have revealed that ...

Abstract: Abstract Diagnosing the catastrophic instability processes of combined structures formed by the roof rock, coal pillar, and floor rock is essential to the stability of a mining area. In this paper, uniaxial compression ...

Abstract: Rolling friction pairs in the tower saddle of suspension bridges could significantly reduce the horizontal load that is transferred to the tower. To investigate the dependence of the rolling friction coefficient (μ) of a ...
