Pressed lithium disilicate glass ceramics: Microstructural characterization, in vitro and in silico nonlinear dynamic analysis for biaxial flexural strength

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the mechanical properties of lithium disilicates, and to assess the predictive capability of in silico models for biaxial flexural strength (BFS). Materials and Methods Specimens of four heat‐pressed lithium disilicates (IPS e.max Press, Rosetta SP, LiSi Press, Vintage Prime Press) were obtained.

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 1181-1207, November 2026.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

The experimental study of energy dissipation during fatigue crack propagation under biaxial loading

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2019
The work is devoted to experimental study of heat flux evolution at the fatigue crack tip during biaxial loading with a goal to relate the heat flux to the rate of crack propagation under different loading conditions. The plane samples of titanium alloy (

Enhanced Roofs for Passive Building Design: A Systematic Review of Thermal and Energy Performance

Applied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
This systematic review evaluates PCM‐ and NePCM‐integrated roofing systems for passive cooling. PCM roofs reduce heat flux and indoor temperature fluctuations, while NePCMs improve thermal conductivity with latent heat trade‐offs. Hybrid cooling strategies enhance performance, and future challenges in scalability, durability, and practical ...

Improving fatigue resistance of translucent 4Y‐PSZ zirconia through glass gradation

European Journal of Oral Sciences, Volume 134, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract To evaluate the effect of graded glass infiltration on the fatigue behavior and mechanical reliability of translucent 4Y‐PSZ zirconia before and after hydrothermal aging, disc‐shaped specimens were fabricated by uniaxial pressing and divided into control and glass‐graded groups (n = 36/group).
