Mechanical Constitutive and Seepage Theoretical Model of Water Storage Media Based on Fractional Derivative by Lujun Wang, Yang Wu, Xiaoqian Zhu, Peng Li, Zhiguo Cao, Huan Yang

“…The mechanical behavior of the broken rock mass is described by Hooke’s law of linear elasticity, and the deformation characteristics of the space among the rock masses are represented by a nonlinear elastic constitutive model. The nonlinear stress-strain constitutive model of the water storage media is established by combining Hooke’s law and the fractional derivative stress-strain model. …”

The European Parliament’s Proposal for an EU State of Emergency Clause: A Comparative and Constitutional Analysis by Guido Bellenghi

“…Drawing from examples of EU Member States’ emergency laws, this article analyses these issues from a comparative perspective, focusing on the equilibrium between the recognition of extraordinary powers and the construction of appropriate constitutional safeguards. Furthermore, it critically assesses the proposal’s potential implications for EU constitutional law, discussing in particular the trajectory of EU integration, the role of the adjudicature, and the constitutional design of EU competence.…”
