Adaptive Matrix‐Free Simulations of Fluid‐Filled Phase‐Field Fractures With Fixed‐Stress Coupling and Fracture‐Width Computation

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 15, 15 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Fluid‐filled phase‐field fracture simulations require robust, scalable solvers that can handle strongly nonlinear, non‐smooth mechanics and tightly coupled flow on locally refined meshes. In this work, we develop an adaptive finite element framework for quasi‐static, fluid‐filled phase‐field fractures that combines semi‐smooth Newton methods ...

An exciting Approach to Theoretical Spectroscopy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Theoretical spectroscopy, and more generally, electronic‐structure theory, are powerful concepts for describing the complex many‐body interactions in materials. They cover methods from ground‐state properties to lattice excitations and light‐matter interaction, including time‐resolved variants.

Challenges and enablers in fluidization technology

AIChE Journal, Volume 72, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Gas–solid fluidized beds provide excellent heat and mass transfer for high‐throughput operations from coating to catalytic conversion and underpin emerging low‐carbon technologies. Yet industrial reliability, scale‐up, and control lag scientific understanding, particularly as finer, stickier, and more variable feedstocks increasingly challenge

AL-COLE: Augmented Lagrangian for Constrained Learning

ICASSP 2026 - 2026 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)
Despite the non-convexity of most modern machine learning parameterizations, Lagrangian duality has become a popular tool for addressing constrained learning problems. We revisit Augmented Lagrangian methods, which aim to mitigate the duality gap in non-convex settings while requiring only minimal modifications, and have remained comparably unexplored ...

Photon minibeam‐based LATTICE radiotherapy for small and medium‐sized tumors: A dosimetric planning study

Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Lattice radiotherapy (LRT) is a spatially fractionated technique that delivers three‐dimensional high‐dose vertices within tumors. However, conventional LRT is constrained by geometric limitations when applied to small and medium‐sized tumor volumes, primarily due to the large beam sizes that restrict optimal lattice pattern ...

A Model-Based Stochastic Augmented Lagrangian Method for Online Stochastic Optimization

Mathematics
In this paper, we focus on online stochastic optimization problems in which random parameters follow time-varying distributions. In each round t, a decision is obtained from solving the current optimization problem.

General Variational Formulation of Axisymmetric Capillary Bridges: Modeling Contact Angle Hysteresis and Capillary Forces

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4879-4892, 25 August 2026.
ABSTRACT This work presents a general framework for deriving the Young–Laplace equation and the Young's equations for an axisymmetric capillary bridge between two parallel plates by minimizing the system's total energy. These Young's equations naturally emerge as boundary conditions associated with the Young–Laplace equation.

Monotone Clusters With Ordinal Interpretation

Statistical Analysis and Data Mining: An ASA Data Science Journal, Volume 19, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT There has been a growing demand in various sectors, such as healthcare, finance, and social sciences, for clustering methods that not only find quality clusters in data but also provide inherent order among the clusters for better decision‐making and risk assessment. Traditional clustering methods, though effective at grouping data, often fall
