The environmental benefits of electric vehicle (EV) adoption depend on more than replacing internal combustion engine vehicles with electric powertrains. EV adoption reshapes electricity demand, interacts with regional generation mixes, and influences travel behavior and congestion, creating a coupled transportation-energy system in which vehicle and power-plant emissions must be evaluated together. This dissertation develops machine-learning frameworks for predicting energy consumption and emissions from vehicles and power grids under rising EV adoption. The first component forecasts grid emissions from EV charging. Using simulation data from NREL's Cambium database, a Prophet-based time-series framework predicts carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, and methane emission rates …

Objective Under intense mining in deep parts of coal mines, the roadway support systems are significantly affected by both far- and near-field dynamic loads, accompanied by the strong deformations of the surrounding rocks. Therefore, investigating the failure mechanisms of anchorage bodies under dynamic loading becomes particularly important. Methods Using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test system and digital image correlation (DIC) technology, the study investigated the mechanical response characteristics of the anchorage bodies under different impact air pressures. Accordingly, it determined dynamic stress-strain relationships, energy dissipation characteristics, cracks’ evolutionary patterns, and failure modes of anchorage bodies. Results and Conclusions …
