Multi-objective optimization of urban logistics land: a gradient-based method approach with Wuhan city as an example by Hongzan Jiao, Shuaikang Zhang

“…The application of this model in the Wuhan Urban Development Area reveals that: (1) across various scenarios, the model balances the utilization of multiple optimization objectives and demonstrates high solution efficiency; (2) in both the equal weight scenario and the economic preference scenario, the areas of logistics land change are characterized by high economic output, relatively good traffic conditions, greater distance from residential zones, and comparatively low land prices; and (3) based on urban development goals, the model can determine the upper bounds of the optimization objectives through manual supervision of the selection of ideal points.…”

Study of the Growth Process of Original Crack in the Surrounding Rock of Tunnel under the Adjacent Explosive Load by Kang Liu, Dongming Guo, Xinchao Kang, Jun Zhang

“…During the period of 200 μs to 250 μs, the crack growth rate oscillates at the peak, and its size is approximately equal to the moving speed of the arc wave. Based on the experimental results and microscopic damage mechanics, the high stress concentration at the original crack tip under the stress wave first causes damage localization and the weakest chain is formed by the penetration of the damage localization zones by microcracks by special distribution law. …”
