Simultaneous Measurement of Thermal Expansion and Thermo‐Optic Effect in Solids Using Terahertz Spectroscopy

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
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

Collapsing granular suspensions

open access: yes, 2009
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.

Seismic Bearing Capacity of Strip Footings on Cohesive Soil Slopes by Using Adaptive Finite Element Limit Analysis

open access: yesAdvance in Civil Engineering, 2019
By employing adaptive finite element limit analysis (AFELA), the seismic bearing capacity of strip footing on cohesive soil slopes are investigated. To consider the earthquake effects, the pseudostatic method is used.

Soil Amended With Organic Matter Increases Fluvial Erosion Resistance of Cohesive Streambank Soil

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 2022
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

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yesSOIL
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 ...

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.
