Integrating Grain to Ground Motion Data for Critical Rock Bridge and Slope Failure Analysis

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rock masses can fail catastrophically with little warning, yet their stability depends on hidden internal connections that channel forces and localise damage. Among these, rock bridges–a “known unknown” in slope mechanics–lock fractured rock and control how failure unfolds, but their concealed geometry and uncertain strength obscure where and ...

New views of some invariants associated with the Cartesian 2D velocity gradient tensor

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Vorticity and divergence of horizontal flow are fundamental quantities in meteorology; both are linear functions of the four elements of the 2D velocity gradient tensor and both are formally unchanged under coordinate rotation. We explore four quadratic functions of the elements that are geometrically invariant in this sense, finding some novel ...

Multi‐scale flow analysis for scale‐aware urban canopy models

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We found that scale‐aware models are necessary when numerical weather prediction models approach hectometric resolution, which is associated with a characteristic length‐scale of morphological heterogeneity. This morphology‐dependent length‐scale indicates that resolved and unresolved heterogeneity are equally important.

Sliding Motions on Non‐Euclidean State Spaces: A Differential‐Geometric Perspective

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper extends sliding‐mode control theory to nonlinear systems evolving on smooth manifolds. Building on differential geometric methods, we reformulate Filippov's notion of solutions, characterize well‐defined vector fields on quotient spaces, and provide a consistent geometric definition of higher‐order sliding modes.

Linear System Identification and Control of a Low‐Cost High‐Performance Omnidirectional Marine Surface Vehicle for Swarming Applications

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine operations traditionally rely on human intervention, a costly and disruptive method. Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) offer a powerful alternative, capable of operating autonomously, for extended periods, and with various sensors for various missions.
