The Dynamic Response and Failure Model of Thin Plate Rock Mass under Impact Load by Feng Li, Xinhui Dong, Yue Wang, Hanwu Liu, Chuang Chen, Xin Zhao

“…This study mainly focused on the dynamic response characteristic and failure mechanism of rock mass based on a rectangular thin plate model. The frequency equations and deflection equations of the thin plate rock mass with different boundary conditions (S-F-S-F, S-C-S-C, and C-C-C-C) were established under free vibration by the thin plate model and the dual equation of the Hamilton system, and the deflection equations under impact load were derived based on the Duhamel integral. …”

Leaf Morpho-Anatomy of Twelve <i>Cymbidium</i> (Orchidaceae) Species from China and Their Taxonomic Significance by Xiangke Hu, Lei Tao, Jialin Huang, Kaifeng Tao, Dong Ma, Lu Li

“…Based on a comparative analysis, some leaf morphological features that varied between species were selected and used for taxonomic differentiation as follows: (1) The shape and structure of leaves were varied and could be used for species delimitation. (2) Microscopic characteristics show that the leaves lacked trichomes and displayed polygonal to rectangular epidermal cells on both surfaces, with larger adaxial cells and more abaxial stigmata. …”

Flow behavior over well-escape weirs by Hassan I. Mohamed, Gamal Abozeid, Nashat A. Ali, Wagdy M. Saied

“…Over the previous decades, the flow over the traditional sharp-crested weirs was extensively investigated by many researchers; however, the well-escape weirs have not received sufficient attention. These types of weirs were mostly constructed in the form of vertical wells that may be circular or rectangular in shape, and water may flow through the entire perimeter of the weir or part of the perimeter. …”

Study on the Influence of Window Openings on Seismic Performance of Stone Walls of Tibetan and Qiang Dwellings by You Mo, Pan Guo, Jun Lu, Zhuohui Wu, Baoshan Yang, Zhijun Jiang, Feiyang Chen, Wenxi Jiang

“…The peak load, stiffness, and energy dissipation of the windowed walls were less than those of the windowless walls. It was found through simulation that the seismic performance of the wall decreases with the increase in the opening size; as the wall’s openings take on different shapes, the ultimate bearing capacity steadily declines with the order of circular, square, triangular, trapezoidal, and rectangular; and under a range of aspect ratios, the wall’s seismic performance is best when the opening’s aspect ratio is 1:1. …”
