Normality and actual causal strength

open access: yesCognition, 2017
Existing research suggests that people's judgments of actual causation can be influenced by the degree to which they regard certain events as normal. We develop an explanation for this phenomenon that draws on standard tools from the literature on graphical causal models and, in particular, on the idea of probabilistic sampling.

A new peak dilation angle model for rock joints considering different contribution proportions of actual contact joint asperities to shear strength

open access: yesMeitan xuebao, 2023
The shear properties of rock joints have always been the focus of rock engineering, and the peak dilation angle is a key physical quantity describing the shear behavior of joints. A reasonable peak dilation angle model should fully reflect the peak shear

Proposal of the prediction method for fatigue strength of corroded rails with pitting corrosion by actual stress and stress gradient

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2023
Rail corrosion is one of the causes of rail breaks. The relationship between rail corrosion state and fatigue strength is still unclear. Therefore, to accurately estimate the fatigue strength of corroded rails, the prediction method for fatigue strength ...

Determination of bearing capacity of foundation by pressure plate load tests

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2023
The bearing capacity of a foundation should be determined by its strength and deformation under the actual foot. It can be determined directly by the pressure plate load tests, which can ensure the strength safety, but can not ensure the deformation ...
