Thermal expansion and the thermo‐optic effect in solids are closely coupled, reflecting concurrent changes in mass density and polarizability. Using echo‐resolved THz spectroscopy, we simultaneously determine sub‐micrometer thermal expansion and complex refractive index changes of MgO and Al2O3 from 10–325 K. The analysis yields both the coefficient of

Dynamic Properties of Compacted Cohesive Soil Based On Resonant Column Studies [PDF]
Dynamic properties of compacted cohesive soils are required in most of the civil engineering constructions. These include construction of dams, dikes, embankments, liners and levees.

Collapsing granular suspensions
A 2D contact dynamics model is proposed as a microscopic description of a collapsing suspension/soil to capture the essential physical processes underlying the dynamics of generation and collapse of the system.

Soil Amended With Organic Matter Increases Fluvial Erosion Resistance of Cohesive Streambank Soil
Fluvial erosion of cohesive soil is mediated by interactions between soil physical, biological, and chemical characteristics such as soil aggregate stability and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS).

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling
A simulation‐driven framework for autonomous bulldozer leveling is presented, combining high‐fidelity terramechanics simulation with a neural‐network‐based reduced‐order model. Gradient‐based optimization enables efficient, low‐level blade control that balances leveling quality and operation time.

Rubber plant root properties induce contrasting soil aggregate stability through cohesive force and reduced land degradation risk in southern China [PDF]
In southern China, the island of Hainan faces land degradation risks due to a combination of soil physical, chemical, and climatic factors: soil physical properties like a high proportion of microaggregates (<0.25 mm), chemical properties such as low ...
