A New Method of 3‐D Magnetic Field Reconstruction by R. B. Torbert, I. Dors, M. R. Argall, K. J. Genestreti, J. L. Burch, C. J. Farrugia, T. G. Forbes, B. L. Giles, R. J. Strangeway

“…This quadratic model matches the measured values of the magnetic field and its curl (current) at each spacecraft, with ∇ • B zero everywhere, and thus extends the linear curlometer method to second order. Near the spacecraft, it predicts the topology of magnetic structures, such as reconnecting regions or flux ropes, and allows a tracking of the motion of these structures relative to the spacecraft constellation. …”

Study on the Mechanism of Rock Brazilian Disk Splitting Based on the Constitutive Model With Different Tensile and Compressive Moduli by Liu Pengcheng, Xing Minglu, Chen Shiwei, Zhang Yubao, Li Longfei

“…The results elucidate that under the variational modulus constitutive model: (1) Stress concentration in the x-direction does not occur at the center of the rock but is offset toward the two sides of the rock loading end, with stress peaks similar to linear elasticity; (2) under the variable modulus constitutive model, shear effects are pronounced at both ends of the rock loading axis, and initial cracks in the rock originate near the two sides of the loading end, forming initial cracks of tensile-shear mixed mode; and (3) due to the influence of shear stresses at both ends of the rock loading, the ultimate load of the rock is lower than that of a linear elastic structure, and the calculated tensile strength is lower than the true strength of the rock.…”
