Automation in steep terrain agriculture: an optimal controller to prevent tipping and slipping of tethered robots on slopes

Josephine Anna Eleanor Hughes, Max Mirko Polzin

Autonomous robots have the potential to fundamentally transform conventional farming methods, e.g. by enabling economically viable farming of sloped arable land. However, navigation on slopes in harsh conditions is challenging for robots as they must be pr ...

Using video detection of snow surface movements to estimate weak layer crack propagation speeds

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Bertil Trottet, Alec van Herwijnen

Dry-snow slab avalanches release due to crack propagation in a weak snow layer under a cohesive snow slab. Crack propagation speeds can provide insights into the potential size of avalanches and inform fracture and avalanche release models. Despite their i ...

Impact of Topography on Rural Cycling Patterns: Case Study of Bugesera District, Rwanda

Jérôme Chenal, Akuto Akpedze Konou, Baraka Jean-Claude Munyaka, Rim Mrani

Rural mobility in Africa is an under-researched issue. Rural communities have often suffered from reduced mobility that has hampered their access to essential services and facilities such as education, health care, food, and clean water. In many rural comm ...

Antidunes on steep slopes: variability of wave geometry and migration celerity

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

As a result of interactions between streamflow andsediment, riverbeds are seldom smooth, but depending onhydraulic and sediment transport conditions, they exhibitbedforms, which grow and migrate over time (upstreamor downstream). Morphology migration may e ...

Management of turbidity current venting in reservoirs under different bed slopes

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

The lifetime and efficiency of dams is endangered by the process of sedimentation. To ensure the sustainable use of reservoirs, many sediment management techniques exist, among which venting of turbidity currents. Nevertheless, a number of practical questi ...

Snow fracture in relation to slab avalanche release: critical state for the onset of crack propagation

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume, Nander Wever, Jürg Schweizer, Alec van Herwijnen

The failure of a weak snow layer buried below cohesive slab layers is a necessary, but insufficient, condition for the release of a dry-snow slab avalanche. The size of the crack in the weak layer must also exceed a critical length to propagate across a sl ...

The dam-break problem for eroding viscoplastic fluids.

Christophe Ancey, Belinda Margaret Bates

Natural gravity-driven flows can increase in volume by eroding the bed on which they descend. This process is called basal entrainment and is thought to play a key role in the bulk dynamics of geophysical flows. Although its study is difficult using field ...

Time-based failure analysis of compressed riverbank riprap

Anton Schleiss, Charles Pfister, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Mona Jafarnejad Chaghooshi

Methods to design riprap-lined channels usually refer to dumped material. Large blocks placed individually by machinery are used when more stability is required. They offer additional resistance against flow erosion since space between blocks is minimized ...
