Numerical Modeling of Seismic Responses and Seismic Measures of Tunnel Crossing a Fault Zone: A Case Study by Lin Li, Liping Xian, Chaofan Yao, Deping Guo, Chengliang Liu

“…The results show that high earthquake intensity, high in situ stress, and fault zone are the main reasons for damage of Longxi Tunnel. The inconsistent motion response between the normal surrounding rocks and surrounding rocks within the fault zone resulted in the damage of Longxi Tunnel, and the maximum displacement difference reaches 50 cm. …”

Forecasting Disastrous Characteristics of Highway Landslides Using the Material Point Method: A Surcharge-Induced Perspective by Jian Wang, Wei Zhang, Chao-yang Xie, Qian Xiao, Yu-chen Zhu, Bo Pan

“…Moreover, linear regression equations of the maximal sliding distance and speed were deduced after verification, to forecast the reasonable avoiding distance. The maximal sliding distance and speed were found to be negatively linearly correlated with the internal frictional angle and cohesion of the soil, and positively linearly correlated with the surcharge and the slope angle, respectively. …”

High Entropy Cantor Alloys (HEAs) modification induced by tungsten alligation, heat treatment and deep cold plastic deformation by Andrea Brotzu, Stefano Natali, Zortea Laura, De Filippo Barbara

“…As a consequence of the monophasic microstructure which usually characterizes HEAs, these alloys offer an excellent combination of strength, strain hardening ability, good plasticity, ductility and fracture toughness especially at cryogenic temperatures better than the existing conventional metals and alloys. For the above reasons, the present work deals with Classic Cantor alloy, a well-known CoCrFeMnNi HEA, where mechanical properties were improved using low cost casting techniques and a combination of different metallurgical methodologies (heat treatment, cold working and adding alloying elements). …”

The Application of Approximate Entropy Theory in Defects Detecting of IGBT Module by Shengqi Zhou, Luowei Zhou, Suncheng Liu, Pengju Sun, Quanming Luo, Junke Wu

“…Defect is one of the key factors in reducing the reliability of the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module, so developing the diagnostic method for defects inside the IGBT module is an important measure to avoid catastrophic failure and improves the reliability of power electronic converters. For this reason, a novel diagnostic method based on the approximate entropy (ApEn) theory is presented in this paper, which can provide statistical diagnosis and allow the operator to replace defective IGBT modules timely. …”
