Abstract This study presents a numerical analysis of the effects of a rigid flat wall with oscillating motion on the pressure wave propagation during a single spherical cavitation bubble collapse at different initial bubble positions. Different nondimensional distances S = 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 were considered to investigate the effects of initial in-phase and out-of-phase oscillations of the flat wall. Numerical simulations of cavitation bubble collapse near an oscillating wall were conducted using a compressible two-phase flow model. This model incorporated the Volume of Fluid (VOF) interface-sharpening technique on a general curvilinear moving… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Volcanic terrains exhibit a complex structure of pyroclastic deposits interspersed with sedimentary processes, resulting in irregular lithological sequences that lack lateral continuity and distinct stratigraphic patterns. This complexity poses significant challenges for slope stability analysis, requiring the development of specialized techniques to address these issues. This research presents a numerical methodology that incorporates spatial variability, nonlinear material characterization, and probabilistic analysis using a Monte Carlo framework to address this issue. The heterogeneous structure is represented by randomly assigning different lithotypes across the slope, while maintaining predefined global proportions. This contrasts with the more common approach… More >

Abstract Karst collapse columns typically appear unpredictably and without a uniform spatial arrangement, posing challenges for mining operations and water inrush risk assessment. As major structural pathways for mine water inrush, they are responsible for some of the most frequent and severe water-related disasters in coal mining. Understanding the mechanisms of water inrush in these collapse columns is therefore essential for effective disaster prevention and control, making it a key research priority. Additionally, investigating the developmental characteristics of collapse columns is crucial for analyzing seepage instability mechanisms. In such a context, this paper provides a comprehensive… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In nature, cavitation bubbles typically appear in clusters, engaging in interactions that create a variety of dynamic motion patterns. To better understand the behavior of multiple bubble collapses and the mechanisms of inter-bubble interaction, this study employs molecular dynamics simulation combined with a coarse-grained force field. By focusing on collapse morphology, local density, and pressure, it elucidates how the number and arrangement of bubbles influence the collapse process. The mechanisms behind inter-bubble interactions are also considered. The findings indicate that the collapse speed of unbounded bubbles located in lateral regions is greater than that of More >

Abstract Kinked rebar is a special type of steel material, which is installed in beam column nodes and frame beams. It effectively enhances the blast resilience, seismic collapse resistance, and progressive collapse resistance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures without imposing substantial cost burdens, thereby emerging as a focal point of recent research endeavors. On the basis of explaining the working principle of kinked rebars, this paper reviews the research status of kinked rebars at home and abroad from three core domains: the tensile mechanical properties of kinked rebars, beam column nodes with kinked rebars, and concrete… More >

Abstract Thin-walled beams are widely applied as energy-absorbing components in industrial products to meet the requirements of passive safety. Researchers have tried various approaches to improve the energy absorption efficiency of them. Recently, adopting arched beams was proposed by researchers to improve the crashworthiness of beams under transverse loads. Arched beams can switch the transverse forces to axial forces and were reported to show very much better crashworthiness performances than straight beams.
Although adopting arched beams is an effective way to improve the performance of beams under transverse loads, the fabrication of arched beams is more… More >

Abstract Thin-walled beams with various cross-sectional shapes were widely applied in automobiles or other large-volume industrial products. Researchers have tried different methods to improve their crashworthiness performances and predict the collapse responses of the beams under various loads. Multi-cell thin-walled beams were reported to show excellent energy absorption efficiency and crashworthiness performances under many load conditions. Up to now, theoretical analyses on the axial crushing of multi-cell beams have attracted extensive attentions, and significant progress has been made in predicting the energy absorption of multi-cell beams with various sections. However, the theoretical analysis on the bending… More >

Abstract Different drilling fluid systems are designed according to mineral composition, lithology and wellbore stability of different strata. In the present study, the conversion of a non-dispersed polymer drilling fluid into a low potassium anti-collapsing drilling fluid is investigated. Since the two drilling fluids belong to completely different types, the key to this conversion is represented by new inhibitors, dispersants and water-loss agents by which a non-dispersed drilling fluid can be turned into a dispersed drilling fluid while ensuring wellbore stability and reasonable rheology (carrying sand—inhibiting cuttings dispersion). In particular, the (QYZ-1) inhibitors and (FSJSS-2) dispersants… More >

Abstract This report mainly introduces our recent research on the shock-induced collapse, migration and coalescence of He bubbles in metal based on atomistic simulations. The He bubble will be compressed to permanent deformation with the finite plastic collapse of metal. Under strong shock, the He bubble can be breakdown by the nano-jet of the metal, but it returns to a reduced sphere in the molten metal after long-time evolution, driven by the He-Al interface energy. Besides, the shock-induced migration of He bubble is revealed, which can be divided into shock acceleration and the following inertial motion. More >

Abstract A concurrency control mechanism for collaborative work is a key element in a mixed reality environment. However, conventional locking mechanisms restrict potential tasks or the support of non-owners, thus increasing the working time because of waiting to avoid conflicts. Herein, we propose an adaptive concurrency control approach that can reduce conflicts and work time. We classify shared object manipulation in mixed reality into detailed goals and tasks. Then, we model the relationships among goal, task, and ownership. As the collaborative work progresses, the proposed system adapts the different concurrency control mechanisms of shared object manipulation More >
