In situ stress inversion using nonlinear stress boundaries achieved by the bubbling method

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Due to the heterogeneity of rock masses and the variability of in situ stress, the traditional linear inversion method is insufficiently accurate to achieve high accuracy of the in situ stress field. To address this challenge, nonlinear stress boundaries

Advancing Near‐Real‐Time Flood Inundation Mapping in Australia

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Floods are the second‐most deadly natural hazard in Australia, following heatwaves. Monitoring flood extent and depth in near real‐time (NRT) is crucial to minimize loss of life and socio‐economic impacts. This study leverages advanced computing, data management systems, and high‐quality data, including river gauge data APIs and Australian ...

One‐Dimensional Finite Elements With Arbitrary Cross‐Sectional Displacement Fields

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces an unprecedented unified approach for developing structural theories with an arbitrary kinematic variable over the beam cross‐section. Each of the three displacement variables can be analyzed using an independent expansion function. Both the order of the expansion and the number of terms in each field can be any. That is,

Unified 1/2 scaling laws for droplet impact dynamics: From rigid to flexible thin films

Droplet, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2026.
We employ a single‐camera high‐speed three‐dimensional digital image correlation system to quantify the full‐field deformations of flexible thin films during droplet impact dynamics. Experimental results suggest that coupled deformation of the solid–fluid interface plays an important role in the dynamic progress.

A New Classification Method of Surrounding Rock Quality for Phyllite Tunnels Under the Condition of Layer Orientation Parallel to the Orientation of Tunnel Axis

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 47-60, January 2026.
Modified Mass Classification of Layered Rock Masses Based on the HC Method. ABSTRACT The HC method for hydropower is a commonly used rock mass quality classification technique in China's hydropower industry. Due to the anisotropic nature of the layered schist in the study area, and the varying angles between different tunnel layers and the tunnel axis,

Settlement Calculation of Pile Foundation With Different Shaft Resistance Models by Mean Vertical Additional Stress Coefficient Method

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study develops the mean vertical additional stress coefficient on the basis of vertical additional stress, and an analytical solution for calculating the settlement of pile foundations is derived accordingly. The method simplifies settlement calculations by simply layering the soil layers with different compression moduli, eliminating the need for

Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams: Comparative Analysis of Experimental and Finite Element Methods

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Reinforced concrete (RC) deep beams are increasingly used in structural applications such as offshore platforms, high‐rise buildings, foundations, and nuclear facilities. However, the absence of a universally accepted strut‐and‐tie method (STM) for their design remains a critical challenge.

On uniqueness of the second boundary value problem solutions for the third order composite type equation in unbounded domains

Vestnik Samarskogo Gosudarstvennogo Tehničeskogo Universiteta. Seriâ: Fiziko-Matematičeskie Nauki, 2012
In the paper the second boundary value problem for the third order composite type equations is investigated. We established Saint-Venants type energy estimates for weak solutions of the problem on Sobolev classes. The obtained estimates are used to prove

Saint?Venant's Principle in Anisotropic Media [PDF]

Australian Journal of Physics, 1965
Saint-Venant's principle may be stated (Sternberg 1954): "An equilibrated system of external forces applied to an elastic body, all of the points of application lying within a given sphere, produces deformations of negligible magnitude at distances from the sphere which are sufficiently large compared to its radius."
