The framework is developed based on a thorough analysis of the scientific literature and with reference to significant reported case studies for which a consistent dataset of continuous displacement measurements is available. Three distinct trends of movement are defined to characterize the kinematic behavior of the active stages of slow-moving landslides in a velocity-time plot: a linear trend-type I, which is appropriate for stationary phenomena; a convex shaped trend-type II, which is associated with rapid increases in pore water pressure due to rainfall, followed by a slow decrease in the groundwater level with time; and a concave shaped trend-type III, which denotes a non-stationary process related to the presence of new boundary conditions such as those associated with the development of a newly formed local slip surface that connects with the main existing slip surface. Within the proposed framework, a model is developed to forecast future displacements for active stages of trend-type II based on displacement measurements at the beginning of the stage. The proposed model is validated by application to two case studies.展开更多

Herein we review recent progress particularly in the study of the effects of interstitial H and/or C atoms on the magnetic and magnetocaloric properties of La（Fe, Si）13 compounds. By introducing H and/or C atoms, the Curie temperature Tc increases notably with the increase of lattice expansion which makes the Fe 3d band narrow and reduces the overlap of the Fe 3d wave functions. The first-order itinerant-electron metamagnetic transition is conserved and the MCE still remains high after hydrogen absorption. In contrast, the characteristic of magnetic transition varies from first-order to second-order with the increase of C concentration, which leads to remarkable reduction of thermal and magnetic hysteresis. In addition, the introduc- tion of interstitial C atoms promotes the formation of NaZnl3-type （1：13） phase in La（Fe, Si）13 compounds, and thus reducing the annealing time significantly from 40 days for LaFe11.7Sil.3 to a week for LaFell.7Sil.3C0.2. The pre-occupied interstitial C atoms may depress the rate of hydrogen absorption and release, which is favorable to the accurate control of hydrogen content. It is found that the reduction of particle size would greatly depress the hysteresis loss and improve the hydrogenation process. By the incorporation of both H and C atoms, large MCE without hysteresis loss can be obtained in La（Fe, Si）13 compounds around room temperature, for instance, La0.7Pr0.3Fe115Si15C0.2H12 exhibits a large IASM[ of 22.1 J/（kg＇K） at Tc = 321 K without hysteresis loss for a field change of 0-5 T.展开更多
