A method of calculating the potential sliding surface of the progressive failure of slope is provided, which is also abbreviated as a failure angle rotation method. The method performs the search calculation of the potential sliding surface of the slope to determine the potential sliding surface, under the assumption that the geological material failure satisfies the condition of the angle between the maximum shear stress surface and the minimum principal stress axis corresponding to the critical stress state being (45 +/2), and based on the fact that the principal stress directions at different positions are rotated while the slope is applied different external loads and gravity loads. The failure path is varied with the change of the stress during the failure process to perform the solution for the potential sliding surface of the slope based on numerical calculation.

A sign of the landslide disaster is easily detected.

A model learning unit (120) of an anomaly detection device (100) learns a relational expression between vibration strengths at frequencies based on a time series of frequency characteristics of a vibration strength detected during a learning period by a vibration sensor placed on a monitoring target. The anomaly detection unit (140) learns a relational expression between vibration strengths at frequencies based on a time series of frequency characteristics of a vibration strength detected during a new period by the vibration sensor. Then, the anomaly detection unit (140) determines whether or not there is an anomaly in the monitoring target based on a relational expression related to a new frequency, which is different from the relational expression learned during the learning period.

A method of detecting an analyte includes vaporizing at least a portion of a fluid within a wellbore, passing the vaporized fluid adjacent a chemiresistive sensing element coupled to a drill string within the wellbore and sensing a resistivity of the chemiresistive sensing element. A sensor for detecting an analyte includes an expansion device for vaporizing a portion of a fluid within a wellbore, a chemiresistive sensing element configured to contact the vaporized fluid within the wellbore and a controller configured to pass a current through the chemiresistive sensing element and calculate a resistance of the chemiresistive sensing element in contact with the gaseous portion of the fluid. An earth-boring tool may include a bit body coupled to a drill string and the sensor.

A split tube soil sampling system includes a sample tube having an upper end and a lower end, a drive head attached to the upper end of the sample tube, and a cutting shoe attached to the lower end of the sample tube. The sample tube has a first generally semi cylindrical tube segment comprising a first pair of longitudinal edges, and a second generally semi cylindrical tube segment comprising a second pair of longitudinal edges. The first and second tube segments are configured to be joined together along their respective longitudinal edges to form a cylinder having a through bore. The longitudinal edges of the tube segments have interlocking fingers that are mated together to hold the first and second tube segments together.

The present disclosure relates to a static cone penetration test device. The device includes a housing, an optical window and a friction cylinder coaxially connected. Light sources are mounted in the optical window and a static cone penetration assembly is disposed in the friction cylinder to detect a resistance the device suffers when the device is pressed into soil. An optical fiber sensor, a wireless transceiver, a data processing chip and a power supply are disposed in the housing. The optical fiber sensor is used to receive the reflected light of a target object and output spatial position information and spectrum information. The wireless transceiver is used to upload test data and receive a control signal. The data processing chip is used to analyze the test data. The present disclosure has the advantages of compact structure, high spectral resolution, quick imaging speed, and strong immunity to interference.
