Boson Peak and Superstructural Groups in Na2O-B2O3 Glasses by Armenak A. Osipov, Leyla M. Osipova

“…Low-frequency Raman spectra of the sodium borate glasses with Na2O content ranging from 0 to 30 mol% were measured and analyzed from the point of view of their structure in the intermediate range order. Our results show that there is a simple linear correlation between correlation length, lc, and an average size, <R>, of the area of ordered arrangement of atoms, obtained via the distribution of the (super)structural units and their representative size. …”

Application of FDA Discriminant Analysis Methodin Classification of Tunnel Surrounding Rocks by CHEN Liang, HAN Aiguo, CHEN Qiang, REN Guangming

“…Aiming at the classification of tunnel surrounding rock, and taking the surrounding rock of a water conveyance tunnel in southwest China as the research object, this paper comprehensively selects 8 indicators such as uniaxial saturated compressive strength of rock, volume joint count, rock mass integrity coefficient, main structural surface occurrence, rock quality, strength-stress ratio, crack weathering.and joint set in hydropower surrounding rock classification and Q system classification as the discriminant factors to establish the corresponding Fisher discriminant model, tests the modeling data one by one by the back-substitution estimation method, with the consistency rate of 89.5%, and applies the discriminant model to the remaining sections of the tunnel to obtain the prediction results, which are consistent with the actual situation. …”
