The technique combines radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for sediment tracking with 3-D scanning for volume measurement. The technique is applied to real marine sediments collected from the beach under study. In the preliminary phase, the sediments are scanned using a low-cost 3-D scanning system and then fitted with an embedded RFID transponder, which allows their unambiguous identification. The pebbles are then deployed on the beach and, after a predefined period of time, they are located and retrieved by means of an ad-hoc RFID reader used as a detector. After retrieval, the pebbles are 3-D scanned to collect data on the volumetric changes that result from the abrasion and chipping processes caused by intergranular friction on their surfaces from water movements (mostly sea waves). The technique allows for an accurate estimation of morphological variations of sediments, thereby providing essential insights into sediment stability and, on a broader scale, coastal erosive processes. Moreover, it allows the study of the evolution of a number of textural parameters, such as sphericity or angularity, which can be extracted from the 3-D model. © 1976-2012 IEEE.}, keywords = {Synthetic apertures; Velocity measurement; Strain measurement; Volume measurement; Radio frequency identification (RFID); radio frequency identification; Marine sediments; Marine sediments; surficial sediments; Textural parameters; Radio-frequency-identification; parameter evolution; VOLUME PARAMETERS; volume variations; 3-D scanning; pebble abrasion; sediments tracking; 3-D scanning; Pebble abrasion; Sediment tracking; Volume variation}, year = {2025}, eissn = {1558-1691}, pages = {608-621} } @article{MTMT:36058685, title = {Decoding planetary surfaces by counting cracks}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36058685}, author = {Silver, S. and Regős, Krisztina and Jerolmack, D.J. and Domokos, Gábor}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.2411738122}, journal-iso = {P NATL ACAD SCI USA}, journal = {PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, volume = {122}, unique-id = {36058685}, issn = {0027-8424}, abstract = {Planets are often covered with thin cracked shells. From mud films to lithospheres of rock or ice, fracture networks form two-dimensional (2D) tessellations of convex polygons whose geometry encodes their genesis. Here, we chart the geometry of 2D fracture mosaics across the solar system, and decode their formative conditions using a new dynamical crack model. We show that mosaics can be projected onto a Symbolic Ternary Diagram, where the relative proportions of “T,” “X,” and “Y” junctions are uniquely related to contributions from distinct modes of fracture. Most planetary mosaics cluster in a region associated with hierarchical fracture networks, where sequential cracking favors formation of T junctions. Exceptions to this rule may betray the presence of water. Europa’s fracture networks stand apart due to the predominance of X junctions; this is a special feature of ice, where healing of cracks by refreezing of water allows new fractures to overprint older ones. Several fracture networks on Mars appear as outliers due to the high proportion of Y junctions. These patterns—previously interpreted as ancient mudcracks and frozen polar terrain, based on geological evidence—are consistent with the twisting of crack junctions by cyclic volume change. Our findings suggest that counting cracks could aid in the identification of other water-influenced planetary environments.

The classical solutions, such as triangles, squares, and hexagons in the plane and cubes and other polyhedra in three-dimensional space are built with sharp corners and flat faces. However, many tilings in Nature are characterized by shapes with curved edges, nonflat faces, and few, if any, sharp corners. An important question is then to relate prototypical sharp tilings to softer natural shapes. Here, we solve this problem by introducing a new class of shapes, the soft cells, minimizing the number of sharp corners and filling space as soft tilings. We prove that an infinite class of polyhedral tilings can be smoothly deformed into soft tilings and we construct the soft versions of all Dirichlet–Voronoi cells associated with point lattices in two and three dimensions. Remarkably, these ideal soft shapes, born out of geometry, are found abundantly in nature, from cells to shells.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2752-6542}, orcid-numbers = {Goriely, Alain/0000-0002-6436-8483; G.

In comparison with the previous, discrete time model, studied recently by two of the present three authors, this approach has several advantages. In particular, the emergence of non-physical solutions characteristic to the discrete time model is ruled out in the relevant nonlinear version of the new model.
