Seismic imaging is the numerical process of creating a volumetric representation of the subsurface geological structures from elastic waves recorded at the surface of the Earth. As such, it is widely utilized in the energy and construction…
Numerous early warning systems based on rainfall measurements have been designed over the last decades to forecast the onset of rainfall-induced shallow landslides. However, their use over large areas poses challenges due to uncertainties…
Predicting the occurrence of landslides is important to prevent or reduce loss of lives and property. The stability of rock slopes is often dominated by one or more locked segments along a potential slip surface; these segments have…
A novel structure of sheet-pile groin consists of row piles and tied sheet has been introduced to resist the impact of tidal bore in recent years. However, the dynamic responses of the structure under tidal bore have not been carefully…
This paper presents a highly robust third-order accurate finite volume weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) method for special relativistic hydrodynamics on unstructured triangular meshes. We rigorously prove that the proposed method…
Polymeric thin films of various thicknesses, confined between two repulsive walls, have been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. Using the anisotropy of the perpendicular and parallel components of the pressure tensor the surface…
Dunes are bedforms found on sandy terrains shaped by fluid flow on Earth, Mars, and other celestial bodies. Despite their prevalence, understanding dune dynamics at the grain scale is challenging due to the vast number of grains involved.…
The relationship between the macroscopic response of the slope and the macrostructure of the force chain network under the action of the metal plate was studied by the particle discrete element method and the persistent homology. The…
The estimation of the degree of risk of steel storage tanks from an industrial or nuclear power plant during an earthquake event is a very difficult task since the dynamic behaviour of the tank-liquid system is highly complex. The seismic…
Numerical experiments of dynamo action designed to understand the generation of Earth's magnetic field produce different regime branches identified within bifurcation diagrams. Notable are distinct branches where the resultant magnetic…
A meso-scale analysis is performed to determine the fracture process zone of concrete subjected to uniaxial tension. The meso-structure of concrete is idealised as stiff aggregates embedded in a soft matrix and separated by weak interfaces.…
Faults are complex systems embedded in an evolving medium fractured by seismic ruptures. This off-fault damage zone is shown to be thermo-hydro-mechano-chemically coupled to the main fault plane by a growing number of studies. Yet,…
Two-dimensional materials have attracted considerable attention due to their remarkable electronic, mechanical and optical properties, making them prime candidates for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic applications. Despite…
Several recent works have considered the pressure exerted on a wall by a model polymer. We extend this consideration to vesicles attached to a wall, and hence include osmotic pressure. We do this by considering a two-dimensional directed…
The immersed interface method (IIM) for fluid-structure interaction imposes discontinuities in the fluid stress along immersed boundaries that are generated by forces concentrated along those boundaries. For a viscous incompressible fluid,…
Sand pile models are dynamical systems describing the evolution from $N$ stacked grains to a stable configuration. It uses local rules to depict grain moves and iterate it until reaching a fixed configuration from which no rule can be…
Post-earthquake damage evaluation has indicated that although the buildings with shear walls exhibited an appropriate overall performance in the recent severe earthquakes, in some cases, however, the columns and the shear walls were…
Manganese monophosphide (MnP) shows complicated magnetic states varying with both temperature and pressure. We calculate the magnetic and electronic structures of MnP at different pressures using first-principles methods and obtain spiral…
Retaining walls are often built to prevent excessive lateral movements of the ground surrounding an excavation site. During an excavation, failure of retaining walls could cause catastrophic accidents and hence their lateral deformations…
We have investigated the dynamics of liquid water confined in mesostructured porous silica (MCM-41) and periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMOs) by incoherent quasielastic neutron scattering experiments. The effect of tuning the…
