Seismic earth forces against embedded retaining walls
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2016 This paper provides results from carrying out two-dimensional dynamic finite element analyses to determine the applicability of simple pseudo-static analyses for assessing seismic earth forces acting on embedded cantilever and propped retaining walls appropriate for New Zealand. In particular, this study seeks to determine if the free-field Peak Ground

Casimir force acting on magnetodielectric bodies embedded in media
, 2005 Within the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, general expressions for the Casimir force acting on linearly and causally responding magnetodielectric bodies that can be embedded in another linear and causal magnetodielectric medium are ...

Method to Control the Deformation of Anti-Slide Piles in Zhenzilin Landslide
Applied Sciences, 2020 Anti-slide piles were used in the region of the Zhenzilin landslide in Sichuan, China. The horizontal displacement of these piles exceeds specifications. Deterioration in bedrock properties may cause deformation, thereby causing landslide destabilization.

Vacuum force on an atom in a magnetodielectric cavity
, 2005 We demonstrate that, according to a recently suggested Lorentz-force approach to the Casimir effect, the vacuum force on an atom embedded in a material cavity differs substantially from the force on an atom of the cavity medium.

An Alternative to Compactification [PDF]
, 1999 Conventional wisdom states that Newton's force law implies only four non-compact dimensions. We demonstrate that this is not necessarily true in the presence of a non-factorizable background geometry.

Non-local fluctuation correlations in active gels [PDF]
, 2010 Many active materials and biological systems are driven far from equilibrium by embedded agents that spontaneously generate forces and distort the surrounding material. Probing and characterizing these athermal fluctuations is essential for understanding

Towards Embedded Force Sensors in Exoskeletons for Evaluating Interaction Forces in Interfaces [PDF]
, 2020 The applicability of exoskeletons in different daily and occupational settings is continually increasing. Due to varying tasks and user groups, the adaptability of exoskeletons is becoming more significant, with increasing demands for smarter devices. The implementation of force sensors in exoskeletal interfaces could be an approach for analyzing the ...
