Boundary Layers in Weak Solutions of Hyperbolic Conservation Laws [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for a nonlinear hyperbolic system of conservation laws. We study the boundary layers that may arise in approximations of entropy discontinuous solutions. We consider both the vanishing viscosity method and finite difference schemes (Lax-Friedrichs type schemes, Godunov scheme).

A Weak Layer in the Mantle? [PDF]
Summary The paper discusses the effect of a weak layer in the upper mantle on the deformation of the crust arising from atmospheric loading, and on the isostatic compensation process. It also points out that S phases with periods of I second are much more strongly damped than S phases with periods of 10 seconds or more, and than P phases with short ...

Analysis of the Finite Element Strength Reduction Method to Slope Stability with a thin weak layer
The strength of the weak layer not only controls the instability mechanism of the slope, but also the factor of safety to the slope. Studying the stability of the weak layer slope has important theoretical significance and practical engineering value ...

. For a slab avalanche to release, we need sustained crack propagation in a weak snow layer beneath a cohesive snow slab – a process we call dynamic crack propagation. Field measurements on crack propagation are very scarce.

Study on instability mode of double weak layer burnt rock slope
In order to study the failure mode of double weak layer slope of burnt rock in opencast coal mine, the failure and deformation characteristics of the slope were analyzed by means of FLAC3D numerical simulation, and the mechanical model of the slope was ...

Sensitivity of modeled snow stability data to meteorological input uncertainty [PDF]
To perform spatial snow cover simulations for numerical avalanche forecasting, interpolation and downscaling of meteorological data are required, which introduce uncertainties.

Stability analysis of cut slope with shear band propagation along a weak layer
Retrogressive spreading failure occur frequently in sensitive clay deposits due to triggering such as gradual natural erosion and degradation or artificial cut. The large scale of failure observed in retrogressive landslides have been attributed to quasi-

Stress Concentrations in Weak Snowpack Layers and Conditions for Slab Avalanche Release
Dry‐snow slab avalanches release due to the formation of a crack in a weak layer buried below cohesive snow slabs, followed by rapid crack propagation.

Experimental Study on the Effect of Eccentric Loads on the Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing Located on the Inclined Multi-Layer Soil Mass with a Weak Soil Layer [PDF]
Engineers often face challenges when designing foundations that are located over and near the slopes. By using a new small-scale laboratory model, the Effect of eccentric loading on the bearing capacity of a strip footing located on the inclined multi ...
