Motorist behaviour at railway level crossings: An exploratory study of train driver experience [PDF]
, 2005 Railway level crossings are the interface between roads and train lines, and as such are the potential site for vehicle-train collisions and incidents. Of all road crash types, those between motor vehicles and trains are amongst the most severe. However,

An Estimation of the Heat Load Distribution on the Divertor Target Using the CSD Model
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Handling the heat load on the divertor target is a critical issue in the design of fusion reactors. Estimating the heat load, supported by computationally efficient simulations with varying design parameters, provides valuable input to high‐level design discussions and the development of design guidelines.

Critical expansion points: Mechanical signs of surrounding rock instability
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study proposes the Rock Bearing‐Expansion Model (RockBEM) with critical expansion points (CEPs) to quantify post‐peak damage stages in deep‐buried rock masses via plane strain compression test (PSCT). CEP hysteresis&interval ratios reveal bearing performance dynamics and failure severity, advancing mechanistic insights into deep underground rock ...
