Significance of the actual nonlinear slope geometry for catastrophic failure in submarine landslides.
A simple approach to slope stability analysis of naturally occurring, mild nonlinear slopes is proposed through extension of shear band propagation (SBP) theory. An initial weak zone appears in the steepest part of the slope where the combined action of gravity and seismic loads overcomes the degraded peak shear resistance of the soil. If the length of this steepest part is larger than the crit...
متن کاملRate-weakening friction characterizes both slow sliding and catastrophic failure of landslides.
Catastrophic landslides cause billions of dollars in damages and claim thousands of lives annually, whereas slow-moving landslides with negligible inertia dominate sediment transport on many weathered hillslopes. Surprisingly, both failure modes are displayed by nearby landslides (and individual landslides in different years) subjected to almost identical environmental conditions. Such observat...
متن کاملDynamic growth of slip surfaces in catastrophic landslides.
This work considers a landslide caused by the shear band that emerges along the potential slip (rupture) surface. The material above the band slides downwards, causing the band to grow along the slope. This growth may first be stable (progressive), but eventually becomes dynamic (catastrophic). The landslide body acquires a finite velocity before it separates from the substrata. The correspondi...
متن کاملPersonal audio with a planar bright zone.
Reproduction of multiple sound zones, in which personal audio programs may be consumed without the need for headphones, is an active topic in acoustical signal processing. Many approaches to sound zone reproduction do not consider control of the bright zone phase, which may lead to self-cancellation problems if the loudspeakers surround the zones. Conversely, control of the phase in a least-squ...
متن کاملWeak Bisimulation for Fully
Bisimulations that abstract from internal computation have proven to be useful for veriication of compositionally deened transition system. In the literature of probabilistic extensions of such transition systems, similar bisimulations are rare. In this paper, we introduce weak bisimulation and branching bisimulation for transition systems where nondeterministic branching is replaced by probabi...
