A study on the shear strength characteristics and microscopic mechanism of coal-bearing soil under dry-wet cycles

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
The slope of coal-bearing strata distributed along the high-speed highway (railway) is affected by the atmospheric dry-wet cycles (DWC), and the collapse occurs many times during the construction of such highways, in Pingxiang city, in the province of ...

Intelligent Acousto‐Electrical Metamaterials (IAM) for Sound Source Detection

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Our proposed metamaterial concept enables sound source detection using a single material, in contrast to conventional arrays that require dozens or even hundreds of transducers. We show that the coupled acoustic–vibrational–electrical responses in piezoelectric metamaterials give rise to topology‐governed charge transport, producing distinct voltage ...

Prediction of permeability coefficient of unsaturated lime-improved loess

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao, 2020
In view of the fact that most loess in the loess regions is in an unsaturated state, lime is used to improve the unsaturated loess to solve the problem of permeability of unsaturated loess.

Influence of the Dynamic Effects and Grasping Location on the Performance of an Adaptive Vacuum Gripper

open access: yesActuators, 2022
A rigid in-plane matrix of suction cups is widely used in robotic end-effectors to grasp objects with flat surfaces. However, this grasping strategy fails with objects having different geometry e.g., spherical and cylindrical.
