Optimal Radio Window for the Detection of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays and Neutrinos off the Moon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
When high-energy cosmic rays impinge on a dense dielectric medium, radio waves are produced through the Askaryan effect. We show that at wavelengths comparable to the length of the shower produced by an Ultra-High Energy cosmic ray or neutrino, radio ...

Using a high-pressure water jet-assisted tunnel boring machine to break rock

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2020
The concept of tunnel boring machine (TBM) disc cutter rock breaking coupled with high-pressure water jets has been proposed to overcome the difficulties that occur when TBMs encounter extremely hard rocks.

Numerical Simulation Study on Characteristics of Tight Hard Sand Broken by Axe-shaped PDC Cutter

open access: yesShiyou jixie, 2021
The study on the specific rock breaking mechanism of axe-shaped PDC cutter in the existing literatures is relatively less, the rock breaking characteristic test data are mostly for field application data, and there is short of theoretical basis of tooth ...

Theoretical and numerical studies of rock breaking mechanism by double disc cutters

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2023
A plane mechanical model of rock breaking process by double disc cutter at the center of the cutterhead is established based on contact mechanics to analyze the stress evolution in the rock broken by cutters with different spacings.

Experimental Bounds on Masses and Fluxes of Nontopological Solitons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We have re-analyzed the results of various experiments which were not originally interested as searches for the Q-ball or the Fermi-ball. Based on these analyses, in addition to the available data on Q-balls, we obtained rather stringent bounds on flux ...

Experimental Study on Rock Breaking Effect of Axe-Shaped and Triangular-Ridged Cutters Under Impact Load

open access: yesShiyou jixie
In drilling engineering, optimized cutter selection for specific formations is critical to enhance rock breaking efficiency. To this end, a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus was used to conduct impact-induced rock breaking tests of triangular-
