Investigation of long-wavelength elastic wave propagation through wet bentonite-filled rock joints
Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, 2023 The saturation of the compacted bentonite buffer in the deep geological repository can cause bentonite swelling, intrusion into rock fractures, and erosion.

Radio-frequency impedance measurements using a tunnel-diode oscillator (TDO) technique
, 1999 A resonant method based on a tunnel-diode oscillator (TDO) for precision measurements of relative impedance changes in materials, is described. The system consists of an effective self-resonant LC-tank circuit driven by a forward-biased tunnel diode ...

Disentangling 2:1 resonant radial velocity orbits from eccentric ones and a case study for HD 27894 [PDF]
, 2015 In radial velocity observations, a pair of extrasolar planets near a 2:1 orbital resonance can be misinterpreted as a single eccentric planet, if data are sparse and measurement precision insufficient to distinguish between these models. We determine the

Preliminary findings on the experimental investigation of the small-strain behaviour of Pizzoli silty sand [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe dynamic properties of soils play a crucial role in solving many geotechnical problems with special attention to earthquake engineering. In particular, the small-strain soil behavior should be accurately reproduced in geotechnical modelling to allow ...

Toroidal modeling of penetration of the resonant magnetic perturbation field [PDF]
, 2013 A toroidal, quasi-linear model is proposed to study the penetration dynamics of the resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) field into the plasma. The model couples the linear, fluid plasma response to a toroidal momentum balance equation, which includes ...

A scalar hint from the diboson excess?
, 2015 In view of the recent diboson resonant excesses reported by both ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, we suggest that a new weak singlet pseudo-scalar particle, $\eta_W$, may decay into two weak bosons while being produced in gluon fusion at the LHC.

Frequency-domain P-approximant filters for time-truncated inspiral gravitational wave signals from compact binaries [PDF]
, 2000 Frequency-domain filters for time-windowed gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries are constructed which combine the excellent performance of our previously developed time-domain P-approximants with the analytic convenience of the ...

Quantifying resonant activation like phenomenon in non-Markovian systems
, 2014 Resonant activation is an effect of a noise-induced escape over a modulated potential barrier. The modulation of a energy landscape facilitates the escape kinetics and makes it optimal as measured by the mean first passage time.
