Configurational Energy as a Microstructural Descriptor of Failure Precursors in 2D Frictional Granular Materials

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 2470-2485, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Localized deformation in dense granular materials, often culminating in the formation of shear bands, is a key failure mechanism in geotechnical and material systems. However, predicting the onset of such localization remains a fundamental challenge due to the system's inherent inelasticity and microstructural complexity.

Investigating the Three‐Dimensional Forming of Microfibrillated Cellulose‐Coated Paperboard With Full and Localised Coatings in Thermoforming, Hydroforming and Deep Drawing

Packaging Technology and Science, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 419-440, April 2026.
The 3D formability of paperboard was examined using full and localised microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) coatings in thermoforming, hydroforming and deep drawing, and the results were linked to bulge‐test strain behaviour. Full‐surface fluidised MFC coatings consistently improved strain capacity and 3D formability, achieving performance comparable to ...

Strengthening Potentials of Lithium‐Doped Soda–Lime–Silicate Glasses Through Surface Crystallization of Quartz‐ss

International Journal of Applied Glass Science, Volume 17, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The formation of a crystallized surface layer, having a lower coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) than the parent glass, can be exploited to place the glass surface under compression during cooling from crystallization temperature and hence improve mechanical properties.

Mechanical Insights Into Polymeric Multilayers Films Using Nanoindentation and the Structural Compliance Method

Strain, Volume 62, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study applies nanoindentation to resolve layer‐specific mechanical properties in photovoltaic backsheet multilayer polymers. Structural compliance correction reduces substrate flexure and edge artefacts, enabling reliable hardness and modulus mapping.

Influence of Hornification Treatment and Fiber Length on the Performance of Recycled Polypropylene Composites

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 4793-4803, 10 March 2026.
Study of the influence of hornification treatment and jute and mallow fiber length on the physical, thermal, and mechanical properties of recycled polypropylene (PP) composites. ABSTRACT The growing accumulation of plastic waste has driven its reuse in the development of new composites, with natural fibers emerging as promising reinforcements. However,
