Study of SCA-Induced Rock Crack Propagation under Different Stress Conditions Using a Modified Cohesive Element Method by Shen Wang, Hani Mitri, Huamin Li, Dongyin Li, Wen Wang

“…Results indicate that (1) the modified cohesive element method used in this study is feasible to model crack propagation in deep rocks; (2) the maximum expansion pressure of SCAs depends on rock elastic modulus and geostress field and should be measured under a condition similar to deep underground prior to SCA borehole spacing design; when using the SCAs with a maximum expansion pressure of 100 MPa in 600 m underground, the suggested borehole spacing is less than 220 mm; and (3) σ3 dominates the crack initiation pressure while the principal stress ratio σ3/σ1 and notch direction control the direction of crack propagation.…”

Random Emission and Control of Whispering Gallery Mode Using Flexible Optical Fiber by Bingyang Cao, Zhen He, Weili Zhang

“…This paper proposes a method for generating and controlling WGM lasers based on the design of a flexible optical fiber array structure. By adjusting the spacing between the flexible fibers, the coupling relationship between different WGM modes is modulated, achieving a transition from regular to random WGM (R-WGM) mechanisms. …”

Almost Automorphic Solutions to Nonautonomous Stochastic Functional Integrodifferential Equations by Li Xi-liang, Han Yu-liang

“…This paper concerns the square-mean almost automorphic solutions to a class of abstract semilinear nonautonomous functional integrodifferential stochastic evolution equations in real separable Hilbert spaces. Using the so-called “Acquistapace-Terreni” conditions and Banach contraction principle, the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotical stability results of square-mean almost automorphic mild solutions to such stochastic equations are established. …”
