Filtration in cohesive soils: numerical approach
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2023 Paper presents a numerical method for solving the initial boundary-value problem for a certain quasilinear parabolic equation describing the low velocity filtration problem. The convergence of the method is proved.

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Fraction of Pore Pressure and Calculation of Earth Pressure for Saturated Cohesive Soils
Advances in Civil EngineeringEarth pressure for saturated cohesive soils is closely related to the effective stress expression. For cohesionless soils, previous research indicated that the fraction of pore pressure (factor η) in the effective stress expression is below unity at high

Advanced 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

Data‐Driven Bulldozer Blade Control for Autonomous Terrain Leveling
Advanced 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.

Influence of Load Frequency on Cohesive Soil Respond
Geosciences, 2018 The mechanism of cohesive soils response to cycling loading is less investigated compared to cohesionless soils. Multiple load-unload cycles cause significant changes in the structure of cohesive soils, which result in complex behaviour under the given ...

The Effects of Strength Parameters on Slope Safety Factor in 2D & 3D Analyses using Numerical Methods [PDF]
International Journal of Mining and Geo-Engineering, 2020 Slope stability is one of the important issues in geotechnical engineering. In this regard, due to the growth in the number of numerical approaches, the two and Three-dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Finite Difference Method (FDM) are more
