Mutual influence mechanism between soft soil interlayers and shield tunnels under seismic action: Laboratory tests and numerical simulations

Earthquake Research Advances
Soft soil is widely distributed and has complex origins. Shield tunnels are inevitably constructed within soft soil interlayers, and under seismic action, tunnels may be subject to severe damages.

Work‐Related Asthma From Exposure to Cardboard and Paper Products

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We assess the contribution of cardboard dust exposure to the development of work‐related asthma (WRA). Prior studies on paper‐dust‐related breathing problems have focused on exposures in the paper milling and pulp industries. There have been no reports of asthma linked to workplace exposure to cardboard dust.

Foam used during EPB tunnelling in saturated sand, parameters determining foam consumption [PDF]

, 2012
The amount of foam injected during drilling with an EPB-shield in saturated sand is quite often based on experience and/or empiric relations. A method is presented in to calculate the amount of foam needed to create a muck with limited or no grain stress.

Compact Tubular Dielectric Elastomer Pump for Indoor Plants

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study develops a mountable rolled dielectric elastomer pump (MRDEP) using silicone films and MWCNT‐based electrodes. The MRDEP is completely soft, silent in operation, and easily mounted on a piping system. We use dry stacking methods, fabricate a multilayer dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA), and a pre‐straining process in one direction before ...

High Density Polyethylene/Ground Tire Rubber Composites Compatibilized by Dicumyl Peroxide

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the thermal behavior of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was first evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which confirmed a peak decomposition temperature around 172°C, highlighting its incompatibility with standard melt‐mixing techniques for most polyolefins. To overcome this limitation,
