Numerical Study on Ammonia Dispersion and Explosion Characteristics in Confined Space of Marine Fuel Preparation Room by Phan Anh Duong, Jin-Woo Bae, Changmin Lee, Dong Hak Yang, Hokeun Kang

“…Prolonged ammonia exposure is driven by three key factors: leakage occurring opposite the main ventilation flow, equipment layout obstructing airflow and causing gas accumulation, and delayed sensor response due to recirculating flow patterns. Simulation results revealed that within 1.675 s of ammonia leakage and ignition, critical impact zones capable of causing fatal injuries or severe structural damage were largely contained within a 10 m radius of the explosion source. …”

Acoustic emission and crack evolution characteristics of cemented tailings backfill under different loading rates by Shenghua YIN, Yun ZHOU, Xiaobing YANG, Wei CHEN, Junwei CHEN

“…By analyzing the time-varying characteristics of AE parameters, including ring count, average frequency AF, rise time–amplitude ratio RA, and r-value (RA/AF), and applying unsupervised clustering to RA–AF datasets using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) combined with a moving average filter, crack types and their evolution patterns were identified. The results indicate that: ① Near peak stress, AE ring counts of CTB exhibit interval oscillations. …”
