Simulation of the Effect of Coal Microstructures on the Macroscopic Mechanical Behavior by Yu Fu, Zhongliang Feng

“…The failure (plasticity) first occurred at the interface between the matrix and the mineral, and the failure zone is significantly different due to the influence of different mineral structures. Under confining pressure, the presence of mineral structure decreases the brittleness of coal, and the variation of brittleness is related to the size and spatial distribution of mineral structures. …”

A multi-scale comparison of polar vortices on Earth, Mars, Titan, and Venus by Zheng Sheng, Gangyao Wu, Jie Zhang, Xiaohua Yang

“…Here, we demonstrate that: (1) The circulation characteristics of Mars above the 1 mbar level are very similar to those at 1000 mbar in the lower layers of Titan, with seasonal variations of the same height. (2) In contrast to the vortex structure that is stably maintained in the lead direction in the polar regions of Mars and Earth during the winter, the time of occurrence of the peak vortex intensity at Titan and Venus is gradually shifted forward with increasing altitude. (3) When Venus undergoes vortex instability drift, the polar vortex at an altitude of 1 mbar breaks up into banded structures, a phenomenon that closely resembles the twisting deformation of PV structures during weak stratospheric polar vortex events on Earth.…”
