Surface movement observation stations were established to monitor movement and deformation in one super-large working face. Based on field measurements, the surface movement and deformation characteristics were obtained, including angle parameters, subsidence prediction parameters, etc. Besides, the angle and subsidence prediction parameters in similar mining areas are summarized; the mechanism of surface movement and deformation was analyzed with the combination of key stratum theory, mining and geological conditions. The research also indicates that compared with conventional working faces, uniform subsidence area of the subsidence trough in the windy and sandy region is larger, the trough margins are relative steep and deformation values present convergence at the margins, the extent of the trough shrink towards the goaf and the influence time of mining activities lasts shorter; the overlying rock movement and breaking characteristics presents regional particularity in the study area, while the single key stratum, thin bedrock and thick sand that can rapidly propagate movement and deformation are the deep factors, contributing to it.展开更多

An abundance of crushed rocks are available in Western Australia but do not meet strength requirements for road construction. However, cement treatment of crushed rocks, forming Cement Treated Crushed Rocks （CTCR）, improves the mechanical properties of the material, allowing wider application. In order to streamline the mix design of CTCR, the classification of its behaviour is pivotal. Austroad classifies cement treated pavement materials as either being modified or bound based on its Unconfined Compressive Strength （UCS） and performance attributes. Bound materials are def＇med by its susceptibility to fatigue failure which, in the mechanistic-empirical design for flexible pavements, is dictated by the flexural modulus. However, in the study of damage mechanics, fatigue life is suggested to be an accumulation of micro-scale damage in lieu of dependency to ultimate stresses. Strain dependent damage functions are used phenomologically to explain the evolution of fatigue for various engineering materials. This paper therefore investigates a theoretical relationship between strain and fatigue life prediction supported by a laboratory investigation on the use of UCS for classification. This is achieved by providing regression analysis with strain parameters used in fatigue life prediction. The Indirect Tensile Strength （ITS） test is also employed to this end. It is observed that strain at onset of micro-cracking coalescence （ε30） is independent of test type undertaken and potentially capable of acting as a more superior blanket classification for cemented materials.展开更多

Here we report a study on the stress-strain behavior of the nanostructured gradient layer(NGL) in an integrated gradient specimen that consists of a coarse-grained(CG)central layer sandwiched between two NGLs. Constraint from the CG central layer led to the formation of dense and dispersed stable strain bands(SBs) in the NGL, which regained dislocation hardening after initial recovery and grain coarsening. Consequently, the NGL exhibited a transient plateau of flow stress after yielding, and then regained extra strain hardening to achieve excellent uniform elongation. These unique behaviors are dramatically different from those of a freestanding NGL, indicating a fundamentally different deformation principle that is intrinsic to heterostructures, i.e.,inter-zone constraint modifies the constitutive behavior of constituent zones.展开更多

Pure theoretical approaches are employed to investigate that the surface plasmon could easily be coupled and both the reflection and transmission curves versus the incident intensity forms optical bistability. The transmission curves are greatly influenced by the thickness of the second silver film. These results may be useful for designing novel surface plasmon-based optical devices and will be essential for future classical and quantum information processes.展开更多
