Investigation on tunnel stability considering pipe‐roof support with transparent soil technology

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study integrates transparent soil technology, 3D reconstruction and numerical simulation to captures the full‐field deformation of shield tunnel instability. Results demonstrate that pipe‐roof support enhances stability via the “soil‐arching barrier effect,” effectively restraining failure wedge development by extending stress transfer paths ...

High‐Performance UV Photodetectors Based on ZnO Hierarchical Nanostructures Grown on Aerosol‐Printed 3D Ag Mesh

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
First integration of ZnO nanorods with aerosol‐printed 3D Ag meshes for UV photodetector. 3D Ag/ZnO enhances light absorption and charge separation by providing a large active surface area for efficient charge generation and a strong UV response.

Elevator dynamic monitoring and early warning system based on machine learning algorithm

IET Networks, EarlyView., 2022
In order to monitor and warn the elevator dynamics, in this work, the machine learning algorithm is introduced, and the particle swarm algorithm is used to perfect the model. The model is optimised, and the experimental comparison shows that the optimisation of the model parameters can further improve the accuracy of the elevator load prediction. Then,

Concept, Tests, and Optimum Design of Novel Negative Stiffness Friction Dampers for Seismic Protection of Long‐Span Bridges

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a

A Novel Bipolar DC Connection Strategy for Photovoltaic Power Plants With a 50% Reduction in DC Cabling Length

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Bipolar configuration is a new topology in the direct current (DC) system of photovoltaic power plants, which is topologically analogous to the bipolar configuration utilised in High‐Voltage Direct Current power transmission systems. DC cable length and copper usage are reduced by 50% using a bipolar configuration.

Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade
