Invariant expression for tunneling rate under canonical transformations

The original formula to calculate the tunneling rate through event horizons is apparently dependent on the type of coordinates used. In this paper, we propose an invariant expression under canonical transformations to study the tunneling effect. Moreover, the problem of factor 2 is solved naturally. As an application of this expression, we obtain the same tunneling rate both in the Schwarzschild and the Painlev6 coordinates. It is shown that once the suitable formula to calculate tunneling rate is correctly identified, the tunneling method is manifestly covariant.

Quantum Tunneling Radiation of Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter Black Hole with a Global Monopole

Applying Parikh＇s quantum tunneling model, we study the quantum tunneling radiation of Reissne- Nordstrom de Sitter black hole with a global monopole. The result shows that the tunneling rates at the event horizon and the cosmic horizon are related to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy if we take the energy conservation into consideration, and the true radiate spectrum is not precisely thermal.

Fermion tunneling of charged particles from a non-static black hole in de Sitter space

Introducing a new coordinate system and choosing a set of appropriate matrices γ^μ, this paper attempts to investigate the fermion tunneling of charged particles across the event horizon from the Vaidya-Bonner de Sitter black hole. The result shows that the tunneling rate of the non-static black hole is related not only to the change of Bekenstein- Hawking entropy but also to the integral of the changing horizon, which violates unitary theory and is different from the stationary case.

Hawking Tunneling Radiation of a Particle with Electric and Magnetic Charge from Kerr-Newman-Kasuya Black Hole

Extending the Parikh＇s quantum tunneling method of an uncharged particle, we investigate the quantum radiation characteristics of a particle with electric and magnetic charge via tunneling from the event horizon of the Kerr-Newman Kasuya black hole. The derived result supports the Parikh＇s opinion and the correction to the thermal spectrum is of precisely the form that satisfies the underlying unitary quantum theory, and finally provides a might explanation to the black hole information puzzle.

Hawking Radiation of Charged Particles via Tunneling from a Cylindrically Symmetric Black Hole in Anti-de Sitter Space-Time

Applying Parikh-Wilzcek＇s semi-classical quantum tunneling model, we study the Hawking radiation of charged particles as tunneling from the event horizon of a cylindrically symmetric black hole in anti-de Sitter space-time. The derived result shows that the tunneling rate of charged particles is related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and that the radiation spectrum is not strictly pure thermal after taking the black hole background dynamical and self-gravitation interaction into account, but is consistent with the underlying unitary theory.

Based on particles in a dynamical geometry, extending the Parikh ＇s method of quantum tunneling, radiation, we deeply investigate the quantum tunneling radiation of Kerr-NUT bhck hole. When self-gravitating action, energy conservation, and angular momentum conservation are taken into account, the emission rate of the particle on the event horizon is related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the emission spectrum is not precisely thermal, but is consistent with an underlying unitary theory.

New Form of Kerr-Newman Solution and Its Hawking Radiation via Tunneling

Parikh-Wilzcek＇s recent work, which treats the Hawking radiation as semi-classical tunneling process from the event horizon of static Schwarzshild and Reissner-Nordstroem black holes, indicates that the factually radiant spectrum deviates from the precisely thermal spectrum after taking the self-gravitation interaction into account. In this paper, we extend Parikh-Wilzcek＇s work to research the Hawking radiation via tunneling from new form of rotating Kerr-Newman solution and obtain a corrected radiant spectrum, which is related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, and is not pure thermal, but is consistent with the underlying unitary theory. Meanwhile, we point out that the information conservation is only suitable for the reversible process and in highly unstable evaporating black hole （irreversible process） the information loss is possible.

Utilizing partial least square and support vector machine for TBM penetration rate prediction in hard rock conditions

Rate of penetration(ROP) of a tunnel boring machine(TBM) in a rock environment is generally a key parameter for the successful accomplishment of a tunneling project. The objectives of this work are to compare the accuracy of prediction models employing partial least squares(PLS) regression and support vector machine(SVM) regression technique for modeling the penetration rate of TBM. To develop the proposed models, the database that is composed of intact rock properties including uniaxial compressive strength(UCS), Brazilian tensile strength(BTS), and peak slope index(PSI), and also rock mass properties including distance between planes of weakness(DPW) and the alpha angle(α) are input as dependent variables and the measured ROP is chosen as an independent variable. Two hundred sets of data are collected from Queens Water Tunnel and Karaj-Tehran water transfer tunnel TBM project. The accuracy of the prediction models is measured by the coefficient of determination(R2) and root mean squares error(RMSE) between predicted and observed yield employing 10-fold cross-validation schemes. The R2 and RMSE of prediction are 0.8183 and 0.1807 for SVMR method, and 0.9999 and 0.0011 for PLS method, respectively. Comparison between the values of statistical parameters reveals the superiority of the PLSR model over SVMR one.

Correction to Hawking Radiation Characteristics of Stationary Demianski-Newman Black Hole

The pure thermal spectrum in dragging coordinate system and the tunneling radiation characteristics across the event horizon for stationary Demianski-Newman black hole are researched. The result shows that the tunneling rate of the particle is relevant to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, and the derived radiate spectrum is not strictly pure thermal, but is consistent with underlying unitary theory. Finally, we use the obtained results to reduce to stationary Kerr black hole and static Schwarzschild black hole, and lind that only when ignoring the spectrum at higher energies is the tunneling radiation spectrum consistent with Hawking pure thermal one.

Extending Parikh＇s semi-classical quantum tunnelling model, this paper has studied the Hawking radiation of the charged particle via tunnelling from the horizon of the axisymmetric Sen black hole. Different from the uncharged massless particle, the geodesics of the charged massive particle tunnelling from the horizon is not light-like. The derived result supports Parikh＇s opinion and provides a correct modification to Hawking strictly thermal spectrum developed by the fixed background space-time and not considering the energy conservation and the self-gravitation interaction.

Hawking radiation as tunnelling from arbitrarily dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter black hole

This paper extends Parikh-Wilzcek＇s recent work, which treats the Hawking radiation as a semi-classical tunnelling process from the event horizon of four dimensional Schwarzshild and Reissner-Nordstrom black holes, to that of arbitrarily dimensional Reissner-Nordstrom de Sitter black hole. The result shows that the tunnelling rate is related to the change of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the factually radiant spectrum is no longer precisely thermal after taking the dynamical black hole background and energy conservation into account, but is consistent with the underlying unitary theory and then satisfies the first law of the black hole thermodynamics. Meanwhile, in Parikh-Wilzcek＇s framework, this paper points out that the information conservation is only suitable for the reversible process but in highly unstable evaporating black hole （irreversible process） the information loss is possible.

Geotechnical investigations and remediation design for failure of tunnel portal section： a case study in northern Turkey

Mass movements are very common problems in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey due to its climate conditions, geological, and geomorphological characteristics. High slope angle, weathering, dense rainfalls, and anthropogenic impacts are generally reported as the most important triggering factors in the region. Following the portal slope excavations in the entrance section of Cankurtaran tunnel, located in the region, where the highly weathered andesitic tuff crops out, a circular toe failure occurred. The main target of the present study is to investigate the causes and occurrence mechanism of this failure and to determine the feasible remedial measures against it using finite element method(FEM) in four stages. These stages are slope stability analyses for pre-and postexcavation cases, and remediation design assessments for slope and tunnel. The results of the FEM-SSR analyses indicated that the insufficient initial support design and weathering of the andesitic tuffs are the main factors that caused the portal failure. After installing a rock retaining wall with jet grout columns and reinforced slope benching applications, the factor of safety increased from 0.83 to 2.80. In addition toslope stability evaluation, the Rock Mass Rating(RMR), Rock Mass Quality(Q) and New Austrian Tunneling Method(NATM) systems were also utilized as empirical methods to characterize the tunnel ground and to determine the tunnel support design. The performance of the suggested empirical support design, induced stress distributions and deformations were analyzed by means of numerical modelling. Finally, it was concluded that the recommended stabilization technique was essential for the dynamic long-term stability and prevents the effects of failure. Additionally, the FEM method gives useful and reasonably reliable results in evaluating the stability of cut slopes and tunnels excavated both in continuous and discontinuous rock masses.

Experimental study on the sampling efficiency of the whirl type separation sand sampler in a wind tunnel

A performance test was conducted in a wind tunnel by changing the principal configuration parameters of a sampler such as the diameter of the container, inlet width and cone height. The results show that the average sand collection rate is from 80% to 90% when any one of the configuration parameter levels is changed. However, the variation of a parameter level results in different ef-fects on the sand collection rate for each soil sample within a certain size range of sand grains. The results show that for various sand grain sized soil sample at each wind speed, the sand collection rate decreases when the diameter of the container changes from 50 mm to 40 mm, the sand collection rate increases by about 2%-3% when the inlet width changes from 10 mm to 8 mm, and the sand collection rate increases by about 3%-4% when cone height is altered from 100 mm to 125 mm. The average sand collection rate is enhanced by 2%-4% for the soil sample of different sized sand grains when the diameter of the container is 50 mm, the inlet width is 8 mm, and cone height is 125 mm.

Realtime prediction of hard rock TBM advance rate using temporal convolutional network(TCN)with tunnel construction big data

Real-time dynamic adjustment of the tunnel bore machine(TBM)advance rate according to the rockmachine interaction parameters is of great significance to the adaptability of TBM and its efficiency in construction.This paper proposes a real-time predictive model of TBM advance rate using the temporal convolutional network(TCN),based on TBM construction big data.The prediction model was built using an experimental database,containing 235 data sets,established from the construction data from the Jilin Water-Diversion Tunnel Project in China.The TBM operating parameters,including total thrust,cutterhead rotation,cutterhead torque and penetration rate,are selected as the input parameters of the model.The TCN model is found outperforming the recurrent neural network(RNN)and long short-term memory(LSTM)model in predicting the TBM advance rate with much smaller values of mean absolute percentage error than the latter two.The penetration rate and cutterhead torque of the current moment have significant influence on the TBM advance rate of the next moment.On the contrary,the influence of the cutterhead rotation and total thrust is moderate.The work provides a new concept of real-time prediction of the TBM performance for highly efficient tunnel construction.
