It is of great significance to evaluate the stress state and mechanical properties of deep rock engineering, by inverting the real-time porosity of rocks. In this study, the triaxial compression tests and real-time ultrasonic velocity tests were conducted on siltstone under different confining pressures. Firstly, a nonlinear model for the evolution of rock ultrasonic velocity with axial strain was proposed, based on the characteristic that the ultrasonic velocity rapidly increases and tends to stabilize. Secondly, a correction coefficient for the ultrasonic velocity of the rock matrix was proposed and the Raymer model was modified. The real-time porosity during triaxial compression of rocks was inverted according to the modified Raymer model and the ultrasonic velocity model. Subsequently, the effective compression coefficient of rocks was calculated based on real-time porosity, and a compaction coefficient was established to describe the compaction effect of cracks and pores. Finally, a new compressive-damage coupled constitutive model for rocks was established, by combining the statistical damage theory and compaction effect.

Objective: Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), a common complication in traumatic brain injuries (TBI), can lead to optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) enlargement and flow spectrum changes from the internal carotid artery (ICA) to middle cerebral artery (MCA). This study will investigate the use of Cervical-Cerebral Arterial Ultrasound (CCAU) for non-invasive ICP assessment and evaluating the related indices' clinical utility in TBI patients with decompressive craniotomy (DC).
Methods: ONSD and flow spectrum changes were measured within 24 h after DC in 106 patients via ultrasonic ONSD measurement and CCAU, simultaneously.

Acoustical properties are essential for understanding the molecular interactions in fluids, as they influence the physicochemical behavior of liquids and determine their suitability for diverse applications. This study investigated the acoustical parameters of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and Ag/rGO nanocomposite nanofluids at varying concentrations. Ag NPs and Ag/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized via a Bos taurus indicus (BTI) metabolic waste-assisted method and characterized using advanced techniques, including XRD, TEM, Raman, DLS, zeta potential, and XPS.

Non-invasive estimation of pressure differences using 2D synthetic aperture ultrasound imaging offers a precise, low-cost, and risk-free diagnostic tool. Unlike invasive techniques, this preserves natural blood flow and avoids the limitations of devices that occupy lumen space. This paper evaluates a previously published estimator, modified to incorporate Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) echo-cancellation, using data from ten healthy volunteers and one patient.

Microwave surface and Lamb waves in a multilayered piezoelectric "Al-IDT/(AlSc)N/(001)[110] diamond" structure designed as a SAW resonator were studied using both the experimental and modeling methods. In this structure, it is possible to generate Rayleigh, surface horizontal (SH) and Lamb waves simultaneously. The successful excitation of Lamb waves at operating frequencies up to 20 GHz has been obtained.

Artificial sand cementation improves stability, stiffness, and mechanical strength, making it a critical process in geotechnical applications. This study analyzes the capability of the porosity-water/binding agent index (ηCw/Biv) to predict cemented sands' unconfined compressive strength (qu) and stiffness (Go). Four Colombian sands, i.
