Instability analysis of rainfall-induced landslides using hydro-mechanically coupled model by Kim, Yongmin, Jeong, Sangseom, Lee, Kwangwoo

“…The slope failures occurred on the surficial layer-bedrock interface, which shows good agreement with the actual failure zone. Through comparisons with field investigations, the presented method reasonably identified the potential zone of landslide initiation as compared with a limit equilibrium method. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…The model suggests that tidal flexural stress significantly contributes to hydrofracturing in the grounding zones, and aligns well with remotely sensed data from the Amery Ice Shelf grounding zone.…”

Structural and metamorphic architecture of the Zanskar Himalaya, Suru Valley region, NW India: Implications for the evolution of the Himalayan metamorphic core by Cawood, IP, St-Onge, MR, Weller, OM, Searle, MP, Waters, DJ, Ahmad, T

“…D3 fabrics, associated with movement on the Zanskar Shear Zone, were temporally continuous with crenulation and mesoscale folding, recording progressive kilometer-scale backfolding and backthrusting toward the NE between the Greater Himalayan Sequence−Tethyan Himalayan Sequence and the adjacent Indus Suture Zone. …”

Effect of turbine motion on floating off shore wind turbine aerodynamics by Tignol, Bo Junior

“…Finally, future work should also further hone in on the inclusion of LES at different freestream wind and surge and pitch combinations to explore the potential formation of complex wake states, as well as the investigation of in-sync and out-of-sync joint pitch-and-surge cases to explore the occurrence of any nonlinear aerodynamic interactions.…”

A Slip Gap of the 2016 Mw 6.6 Muji, Xinjiang, China, Earthquake Inferred from Sentinel‐1 TOPS Interferometry by Feng, Wanpeng, Tian, Yunfeng, Zhang, Yong, Samsonov, Sergey, Almeida, Rafael, Liu, Peng

“…The inverted best‐fitting coseismic slip model in this study shows that the mainshock was a right‐lateral strike‐slip rupture on the western segment of the Muji fault, with an optimal dip angle of 80°±4°. Two separated slip zones exist in the coseismic slip model, with the maximum slip of 1.6 m located in the western slip zone. …”

Flow structures in evolving scour holes caused by a plunging jet downstream of a weir by Si, Jin-Hua, Lim, Siow-Yong, Wang, Xi-Kun

“…As the scour hole developed, the regions of significant TKE moved successively away from the bed with a reduction in scour rate. The plunging jet zone had negative Reynolds shear stress (RSS), and absolute values there were larger than in other zones in the scour hole. …”
