Nonlinear Stability Analysis of Shallow-Buried Bias Tunnel Based on Failure Mode Improvement by Wei Luo, Gequan Xiao, Zhi Tao, Jingyu Chen, Xi Lu, Haifeng Wang

“…Based on the improvement of the Karl Terzaghi failure mode for calculating the surrounding rock pressure of loose rock mass, combined with the upper bound theorem of limit analysis, the formula for calculating the surrounding rock pressure of shallow-buried tunnel in a slope area under a nonlinear failure criterion is derived. The SQP algorithm in MATLAB (R2022a) software was used to optimize the solution, and the influence of slope top load, buried depth ratio, cohesion, and axial tensile stress on the surrounding rock pressure and the failure mode of shallow-buried tunnel was analyzed through examples. …”

Occlusion mapping reveals the impact of flight and sensing parameters on vertical forest structure exploration with cost-effective UAV based laser scanning by Matthias Gassilloud, Barbara Koch, Anna Göritz

“…Using sensor position reconstruction and a ray tracing algorithm to quantify occlusion, we found that: (1) A larger sensor tilt angle up to 15° increased total occlusion, enhancing exploration in the upper canopy, while decreasing it below due to reduced canopy penetration. (2) Flying multiple azimuthal directions with a linear scanning mode reduced vertical occlusion by up to 15.0% due to improved coverage from diverse perspectives. (3) Lissajous scanning patterns resulted in 10.1% less vertical occlusion compared to linear patterns, underscoring the importance of additional viewing angles. …”
