Frost heave
The deformation of the ground surface that is produced by frost heave has motivated almost a century of concerted laboratory, field and theoretical studies. Well before the development of equipment capable of resolving the microscopic films that support liquid transport towards growing ice lenses, early investigators predicted their occurrence and noted their importance. Idealized experiments c...
متن کاملPareto-Optimality of Cognitively Preferred Polygonal Hulls for Dot Patterns
In several areas of research one encounters the problem of generating an outline that is in some way representative of the spatial distribution of a pattern of dots. Several different algorithms have been published which can generate such outlines, but the detailed evaluation of such algorithms has mostly concentrated on their computational and mathematical properties, while the adequacy of the...
متن کاملFresnel diffraction and fractal patterns from polygonal apertures.
Two compact analytical descriptions of Fresnel diffraction patterns from polygonal apertures under uniform illumination are detailed. In particular, a simple expression for the diffracted field from constituent edges is derived. These results have fundamental importance as well as specific applications, and they promise new physical insights into diffraction-related phenomena. The usefulness of...
متن کاملEvolving fracture patterns: columnar joints, mud cracks and polygonal terrain.
When cracks form in a thin contracting layer, they sequentially break the layer into smaller and smaller pieces. A rectilinear crack pattern encodes information about the order of crack formation, as later cracks tend to intersect with earlier cracks at right angles. In a hexagonal pattern, in contrast, the angles between all cracks at a vertex are near 120 degrees. Hexagonal crack patterns are...
متن کاملWatershed identification of polygonal patterns in noisy SAR images
This paper describes a new approach to pattern recognition in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. A visual analysis of the images provided by NASA's Magellan mission to Venus has revealed a number of zones showing polygonal-shaped faults on the surface of the planet. The goal of the paper is to provide a method to automate the identification of such zones. The high level of noise in SAR imag...
