The influence of cracks on the corrosion initiation time caused by chloride diffusion in concrete structures using the Boundary Element Method by Vinícius de Barros Souza, Edson Denner Leonel

“…In the classic structural service life model, the time span between the structure’s exposure to chloride ions and the reinforcement depassivation is called corrosion initiation time, which may be drastically reduced in cracked concrete. Aiming to estimate the corrosion initiation time, this study uses the two-dimensional transient formulation of the Boundary Element Method (BEM) to model the chloride diffusion in reinforced concrete parts with pre-existing cracks. …”

Quadratic magnetic gradients from seven- and nine-spacecraft constellations by C. Shen, G. Zeng, R. Kieokaew, Y. Zhou

“…<p>To uncover the dynamics of magnetized plasma, it is crucial to determine the geometric structure of the magnetic field, which depends on its linear and quadratic spatial gradients. Estimating the linear magnetic gradient requires at least 4 simultaneous magnetic measurements, while calculating the quadratic gradients generally requires at least 10. …”

Urban Traffic Accident Frequency Modeling: An Improved Spatial Matrix Construction Method by Jing Gan, Qing Su, Linheng Li, Yanni Ju, Linchao Li

“…Compared to traditional spatial correlation methods such as the rook and queen matrices, the road matrix provides a more precise characterization of spatial dependencies and significantly improves accident frequency estimation. Notably, the application of the road matrix within a conditional autoregressive (CAR) model uncovers additional significant contributors to traffic accidents, such as the number of interchanges and the length of nonexpress arterial roads. …”
