Deformation and Reinforcement of the Existing Tunnel Affected by New Shield Tunnel Construction with Small Clearance by Junchao Zhang, Jiacheng Yu, Cunjun Li, Yizhou Liu, Longgang Tian, Yonglin He, Qi Zhang

“…A numerical simulation analysis of the tunnel intersection area is conducted using ABAQUS software to investigate the deformation mechanism of shield segments when a new tunnel is constructed at a close distance and oblique angle to an existing tunnel. During the construction of a new tunnel, the existing tunnel segments experience the greatest settlement at the intersection point, with the deformation pattern gradually evolving from a V-shape to a W-shape. …”

Fracture Evolution Mechanisms and Roof Failure Assessment in Shallow-Buried Soft Coal Seams Under Fully Mechanized Caving Mining by Yongkang Yang, Xiaolin Fan, Guoyou Hu, Shuai Li, Konghao Zhu

“…The displacement field of the overburden undergoes a dynamic temporal evolution law following the sequence of “rectangle–trapezoid” → “hyperbola-like” → “trapezoid”. During the advancement of the working face, the fracture pattern of the overburden evolves from “rectangle–trapezoid” to “trapezoid”, and the affected range on the surface transforms from an “inverted trapezoid” to a “trapezoid”. …”

Curtain-based Maps of Eruptive Activity in Enceladus’s South-polar Terrain at 15 Cassini Epochs by Joseph N. Spitale, Mattie D. Tigges, Alexander Berne, Alyssa Rhoden, Terry A. Hurford, Kevin D. Webster

“…No definitive connection between surface activity and the roughly factor of 3 plume optical depth variation with mean anomaly is made here, but our results do not rule out a scenario where the pattern of eruptive activity on the surface is correlated with the mean anomaly, provided only the fractures at the fringe of the SPT ever turn completely off during the tidal cycle. …”
