Two‐Dimensional Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Properties Enhanced by Nano‐ and Micro‐Scale Shape Control

open access: yesMetalMat, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review explores current strategies for shaping two‐dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) beyond their planar form. It highlights how strain engineering, nanopatterning, and growth on complex substrates modulate their mechanical, optical, and electronic properties.

Strain‐Induced Failure Mechanisms of Silicon Oxide PECVD Barrier Coating Systems on PET: Experimental Analysis and Simulation of Crack‐Mediated Permeation

open access: yesPlasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
SiOₓ PECVD barrier coating systems on PET lose their barrier function at 5% strain (single loading) or 3% strain (cyclic loading). Simulations reveal that crack offset patterns can reduce permeation by up to 81% through tortuous path effects, though sub‐resolution defects significantly contribute to barrier failure.

Synergistic Meta‐Perforated Substrates for Hypersensitive Crack‐Based Strain Sensors

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
This work presents a mechanical meta‐perforated substrate that significantly enhances infinitesimal‐strain sensitivity in crack‐based sensors. Integrating a re‐entrant mechanical meta‐structure with perforations yields a 760‐fold sensitivity increase at 0.1% strain. The approach amplifies local deformation through synergistic strain and Poisson's‐ratio

The Influence of Grain Crushing and Pore Collapse on the Formation of Faults

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract During an earthquake, slip occurs in a localized shear zone that features a heavily granulated fault core that can be characterized as a shear band. We study the formation of this fault core in a granular rock such as sandstone by developing a model of crushable granular media within the framework of Breakage Mechanics. This model accounts for

Methodology for Multiaxial Fatigue Assessment of 2024‐T351 Aluminum Alloy Under Load Paths Representative of Aeronautical Structures

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 979-997, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bolted assemblies are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and railway industries, where they experience complex multiaxial loadings. Understanding the multiaxial fatigue behavior of materials in such joints is essential for ensuring structural durability.
