Mechanical Response and Control Measures of Pile Foundations under Close-Range Shield Tunneling in Water-Rich Sandy Pebble Strata by Yanpeng Du, Peng Zhang, Jiabing Zhang

“…Results show that the deformation caused by shield tunneling in gravel strata mainly affects piles within 10 ring widths before and after the piles. During right-side excavation, the bending moment of the pile body exhibits an inverted “S” distribution, while during left-side excavation, it is symmetrically distributed, with the maximum bending moment and axial force occurring at the same buried depth as the tunnel crown. …”

On Limiting Distributions of Quantum Markov Chains by Chaobin Liu, Nelson Petulante

“…Based on this conceptual framework, we derive some new results concerning the evolution of a quantum system, including its long-term behavior. Among our findings is the fact that the Cesàro limit of any quantum Markov chain always exists and equals the orthogonal projection of the initial state upon the eigenspace of the unit eigenvalue of the bistochastic quantum operation. …”
