Santos, Orr Spiegel, Kim Schalcher, Aurélie De Seynes, Geert Spanoghe, Martin Wikelski, Ramunas Žydelis, Aurélien Besnard

“…The effectiveness of an ADS depends on a combination of parameters, including the detection distance of the bird, its flight speed, and the time to complete the chosen action (e.g., turbine shutdown). We created a web application, Eoldist, to calculate cautionary detection distances required by an ADS, using bird flight speed and turbine shutdown time as input parameters. …”

Characterizing large deformation of soft rock tunnel using microseismic monitoring and numerical simulation by Yuepeng Sun, Nuwen Xu, Peiwei Xiao, Zhiqiang Sun, Huailiang Li, Jun Liu, Biao Li

“…As excavation continues, the fracture extension area extends into the deep surrounding rockmass on the east side affected by the weak bedding; (2) Tunnel excavation and long-term deformation can induce tensile shear action on the rock mass, vertical tension fractures (account for 45%) exist in deep rockmass, which play a crucial role in controlling the macroscopic failure of surrounding rock; and (3) Based on the radiated MS energy, a three-dimensional model was created to visualize the damage zone of the tunnel surrounding rock. …”

Optimization and Experimental Testing of the Drag Torque Model Based on the Cavitation Effect by Li Jie, Lian Hailong, Lan Hai, Wang Zhiyong

“…In the non-braking operation of the wet brake in a heavy vehicle's hybrid power transmission system, the friction pair produces a drag torque due to the power loss caused by the viscous action of the oil. In order to realize the accurate prediction of the drag torque of the flow field with the complex trench structure, a method is proposed to optimize the drag torque model by predicting the volume fraction of the cavitation effect through the cavitation number aiming for the prediction error caused by the air entering the flow field in advance. …”
