Impact of Gap-Graded Soil Geometrical Characteristics on Soil Response to Suffusion

Geotechnics
The phenomenon of fine particle migration through the voids of the granule skeleton under the seepage force is called suffusion. Relative density, original fine particle content, and gap ratio are thought to play vital roles in the suffusion process ...

Far-Field Spatial Response of Off-Diagonal GMI Wire Magnetometers. Application to Magnetic Field Sources Sensing

Magnetism
Studying the spatial response of a single-axis magnetometer could be the key parameter to optimize the ultimate performances of magnetic heads of detection. Indeed, the problem of non-orthogonality, misalignment, and 3D spatial response could be improved
