Experimental study on mechanical properties of triaxial geogrid reinforced marine coral sand-clay mixture based on 3D printing technology by Danda Shi, Kaiwei Xu, Zhiming Chao, Zhiming Chao, Peng Cui, Peng Cui

“…This model was applied for the first time to predict the strength of MCCM. Results show that lower clay content, more reinforcement layers, and higher confining pressure significantly enhance the strength and cohesion of MCCM, with little effect on the internal friction angle. …”

Vegetation patterning can both impede and trigger critical transitions from savanna to grassland by Jelle van der Voort, Mara Baudena, Ehud Meron, Max Rietkerk, Arjen Doelman

“…Moreover, the model predicts vegetation patterns consisting of trees and grasses, particularly under harsh environmental conditions, which can persist in situations where a non-spatial version of the model predicts ecosystem collapse from savanna to grassland instead (a phenomenon called ‘Turing-evades-tipping’). …”
