In areas that experience frequent fluctuations in groundwater levels, changes in soil void space caused by fluctuations in groundwater levels directly affect the efficacy of soil vapor extraction (SVE). Most studies of SVE technology of oil-contaminated soil remediation do not consider fluctuations in groundwater levels. Here, we constructed an experimental device to study the removal of benzene b ...

Abstract:
... Self-excited pitch and bounce oscillation occasionally occurs when a tractor pulls a high-draft load on dry soil. This dynamic instability is referred to as the power hop phenomenon. Power hop drastically degrades tractor performance and ride quality and can result in damage to the tractor, operator injury, and soil compaction. Power hop dynamics are characterised by three typical nonlinear elemen ...
