Strain‐Driven Surface Reconstruction During the Alkaline Oxygen Evolution Reaction: a Model Thin‐Film Study

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Dynamic surface reconstruction critically governs the performance and durability of oxide‐based electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), yet controlling this process under operating conditions remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate that lattice strain regulates the extent of surface reconstruction in perovskite oxides by ...

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Containment Structures in Nuclear Power Plants Considering Alkali‐Silica Reaction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1467-1487, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study quantifies the influence of alkali‐silica reaction (ASR) on the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Global collapse was considered as the governing failure mode to maintain consistency with current risk assessment frameworks, and was captured using a finite element model ...

Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior due to the Localized Compressive Deformation on Structural Steel

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1597-1609, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The localized compressive deformation (LCD) process was used to analyze the fatigue crack growth behavior of a high‐strength low‐alloy structural steel. Eccentrically loaded single‐edge crack tension specimens (ESE(T)) in accordance with standard ASTM E647 were precracked at a crack length of about 4 mm from the machined notch by applying a ...

Effect of Matrix Properties on Quasi‐Static and Fatigue Properties of Thermosetting Polyurethane and Its GFRP Composites

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1929-1943, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, the influence of resin cross‐link density on thermomechanical properties and fatigue behavior of polyurethane resins and glass fiber‐reinforced polyurethane (PUR‐GFRP) composites was investigated. This material is a candidate for renewable energy applications like rotor blades in wind turbines.

Testing the Strength of Buried Surface Hoar Weak Layers Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.
Abstract We experimentally determined the multiaxial strength of weak layers of buried surface hoar using displacement‐controlled tests under combined normal and shear loading on a custom testing machine. We tested 63 samples from three different weak layers, with strengths ranging from 1 to 10 kPa with considerable scattering. While shear strength was
