Hidden Fossils of The Hondsrug Complex Connect Time and Space by Margaretha Roelfs, Harry Huisman

“…The Hondsrug UNESCO Global Geopark in the northeast of the Netherlands comprises the Hondsrug-complex, a prominent range of low till ridges created by forces of moving land ice and melt water. The unusual orientations of the ridges contrast with the usual direction of ice flow, and they are separated from each other by elongate depressions. …”

Parametric Study of Tuned Mass Dampers for Long Span Transmission Tower-Line System under Wind Loads by Li Tian, Yujie Zeng

“…The effects of mass ratio, frequency ratio, damping ratio, the change of the sag of transmission line, and the robustness of TMD are investigated, respectively. Results show that (1) the change of mass ratio has a greater effect on the vibration reduction ratio than those of frequency ratio and damping ratio, and the best vibration reduction ratio of TMD is not the frequency ratio of 1; (2) the sag-span ratio has an insignificant effect on the vibration reduction ratio of transmission tower when the change of sag-span ratio is not large; and (3) the effect of ice should be considered when the robustness study of TMD is carried out.…”

Effect of Temperature and Strain Rate on the Brittleness of China Sandstone by Xiuyuan Yang, Zhenlong Ge, Qiang Sun, Weiqiang Zhang

“…To quantitatively study the influence of temperature and strain rate on the brittleness of sandstone, the mechanical parameters of sandstone under different temperatures and strain rates are collected from the previous literature, and two empirical equations for calculating rock brittleness are used to quantitatively calculate and evaluate the brittleness of sandstone. The results show that both BI1 and BI2 can characterize the brittleness of sandstone, but the applicable conditions are different. …”
