Mechanism and Prevention and Control of Mine Earthquake in Thick and Hard Rock Strata considering the Horizontal Stress Evolution of Stope by Ming Zhang, Xuelong Hu, Hongtao Huang, Guangyao Chen, Shan Gao, Chao Liu, Lihua Tian

“…It was determined that the stress concentrations mainly originated from the release and transfer of horizontal stress during the rock fractures and movements in the roof areas, which were calculated using a theoretical estimation model. The horizontal stress concentrations formed “counter torques” at both ends of the thick and hard strata, which prevented the support ending due to tensile failures. …”

Research on the Formation Characteristics of Fog and Frost on Optical Windows of Unsealed Equipment Compartments in Aircrafts by Chun Shen, Yuanyuan Liang, Bo Wei, Chengchun Zhang, Tian Zhao

“…This numerical method was validated by the existing experimental data about fogging and frosting, and afterwards the fogging and frosting processes on the optical observation window in the aircraft are further analyzed for three typical working conditions, namely the ground, the fixed-altitude, and the high-altitude descent. The calculation results show that, under the ground working condition, the maximum thickness of the fog layer on the outer surface of the optical window can completely reach the millimeter level within one hour, and the average thickness of the frost layer can reach the sub-millimeter level, which is one order of magnitude smaller compared to under the ground working condition. …”
