The increasingly severe issue of marine debris presents a critical threat to the sustainable development of marine ecosystems. Real-time detection is essential for timely intervention and cleanup. Furthermore, the density of marine debris exhibits significant depth-dependent variation, resulting in degraded detection accuracy. Based on 9625 publicly available underwater images spanning various depths, this study proposes UTNet...

Calculation and characterization of the whole process of internal microscopic damage to surface damage in red-bed soft rock is a theoretical research difficulty and an urgent need for engineering safety protection. However, the current study cannot accurately and directly correlate internal and external damage. Therefore, in this paper, a coupled tensor–DEM–FEM model is proposed to deal with surface damage by indoor triaxial t...

To mitigate the risk of structural failure in coastal engineering caused by soft marine soil creep, this study presents a coupled macroscopic and mesoscopic creep model of soft marine soil to predict long-term deformation behavior of the soil. First, the mesoscopic characteristics of soft marine soil (e.g., pore, particle, and morphological characteristics) under different external pressures were obtained using a scanning elec...

The rates of chemical reactions are highly dependent on temperature, meaning that the actual geological rock mass is affected by different temperatures. Only when the temperature effect is considered can the mechanism of the influence of temperature on the interaction between water and rock be further understood. It was found that the condition of turbulent flow is more likely to promote the softening of red-bed sandstone than...
