Investigation of the failure characteristics of fissure tunnels under dynamic and static combinations

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This article aims to investigate the dynamic fracture response of fractured tunnel models under zero geological stress through physical experiments and numerical simulations. It further simulates the dynamic fracture characteristics of fractured tunnel models under geological stress ranging from 0 to 2.5 MPa using the numerical software AUTODYN ...

The damage and failure mechanism of prestatically loaded rock during medium‐strain rate cyclic impact loading

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Based on experimental results and theoretical analysis, an established rock damage accumulation model that comprehensively considers the preapplied static load, impact peak value, impact frequency, and impact times. Abstract To study the rock damage mechanism under high static loading and superimposed medium strain rate cyclic impact loading, a series ...

Covalently Bonded S‐Scheme Polymer Heterojunction for Highly Efficient Solar Hydrogen Evolution

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A covalently integrated all‐organic S‐scheme heterojunction (B‐CN2@Py‐CN) establishes atomic‐level charge transport channels and a strong built‐in electric field, enabling exceptional charge separation efficiency. This molecularly engineered photocatalyst achieves a cocatalyst‐free hydrogen evolution rate of 27.9 mmol g−1 h−1 under visible light ...

Freshwater fish functional diversity shows diverse responses to human activities, but consistently declines in the tropics

Ecography, EarlyView.
Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts ...

Policy Spandrels: How Design Decisions Can Open Up Spaces for Unintended Policy Change

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of policy spandrels to make sense of public policies producing second‐order effects that are unintentional from the perspective of policy design and yet are fraught with consequences. By analogy with architectural spandrels—leftover spaces that can be used for unforeseen purposes—policy change can be enabled
