This paper describes the implementation of an FBG sensor to measure water levels in a dike. The is based on 3D-printed mechanical transducer through which external pressure converted into longitudinal strain exerted fiber. An additional integrated within measures temperature and used compensate for effects first FBG. By employing aluminum alloy case, suitable operations harsh environments rough...

Sea level rise due to climate change poses a serious threat human populations in coastal areas. In planning possible countermeasures, it is important consider the potential economic risks and cost of any proposed adaptation. This paper examines effectiveness adaptation measures that combine mangrove afforestation (green infrastructure) dike construction (gray areas considered be at risk inundat...

The origin of horizontal magma-filled sills is disputed, particularly for extensional settings where the opening vertical dikes predicted mode magma intrusion. We simulate long-term extension followed by short-term dike in a two-dimensional viscoelastic medium representing plate spreading center. show that extensionally stressed lithosphere can reduce sublithospheric stresses enough sill given ...
