Mechanical Properties of Deep Variable Dip Joint Rock Mass in Reservoir Area under Wet and Dry Conditions by Fei Li, Huafeng Deng, Wenwen Liu, Guoyong Duan

“…The mechanical property of deep complex jointed rock mass is a hot topic in rock mechanics. In order to grasp the deformation and damage rules of through-going variable dip joint rock masses, the triaxial compression test and joint surface morphology scan test were conducted on cylindrical specimens in dry and wet conditions under 0, 5, 10, and 20 MPa water pressure. …”

Free Vibration of a Fluid-Filled Circular Cylindrical Shell with Lumped Masses Attached, Using the Receptance Method by Marco Amabili

“…The receptance method is applied to the analytical study of the free vibrations of a simply supported circular cylindrical shell that is either empty or filled with an in viscid, incompressible fluid and with lumped masses attached at arbitrary positions. The receptance of the fluid-filled shell is obtained using the added virtual mass approach to model the fluid–structure interaction. …”

Periodic orbits and gravitational wave radiation in short hair black hole spacetimes for an extreme mass ratio system by Lai Zhao, Meirong Tang, Zhaoyi Xu

“…This paper studies the influence of the hair parameter $$Q_m$$ Q m and the structural parameter $$k$$ k of the short hair BH on the periodic orbits of particles and gravitational wave radiation in the extreme mass ratio(EMR) system. The research results show that $$Q_m$$ Q m has a significant impact on the radius of the orbit, angular momentum, and the $$E-L$$ E - L space. …”
