The Effect of Graphene on the Fatigue Response and Failure Mechanism of Composite Materials: A Review

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 933-962, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This review investigates the influence of graphene on the fatigue performance of polymer‐based composites, focusing on both unreinforced matrices and fiber‐reinforced composite laminates. Graphene materials, including nanoplatelets, graphene oxide, and hybrid nanostructures, offer exceptional mechanical, electrical, and barrier properties that

Buckling of a Nonlinearly Elastic Column: Variational Principles, Bifurcation and Asymptotics

open access: yesRocky Mountain Journal of Mathematics, 1995
We study the equilibrium states of an elastic column subject to an end thrust. The column is modeled as an inextensible rod with a nonlinear moment-curvature equation. We bring various mathematical theories to bear on this problem; the calculus of variations, bifurcation theory, phase plane analysis, and singular perturbation theory for ordinary ...

Bio‐Inspired Micro‐Fin‐Assisted Multi‐Modal Vascular Intervention

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
A magnetic guidewire with a micro‐fin–integrated tip is introduced for multimodal cardiovascular navigation. The micro‐fins exploit fluid drag to augment magnetic torque, enabling bifurcation traversal at 15 mT, tolerating 45° misalignment, bidirectional crawling, and buckle self‐correction.

Semi-classical buckling of stiff polymers

open access: yes, 2007
A quantitative theory of the buckling of a worm like chain based on a semi-classical approximation of the partition function is presented. The contribution of thermal fluctuations to the force-extension relation that allows to go beyond the classical ...

Entangled Multistable Origami with Reprogrammable Stiffness Amplification and Damping

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 5, 15 January 2026.
This study introduces a class of origami‐inspired metamaterials that overcome the limitations of existing multistable metamaterials by eliminating the need for rigid lateral confinements. Panel entanglement, snap‐through interactions, and instabilities synergy enable them to achieve extensive shape‐shifting, enhanced stiffness, and remarkable energy ...

Super‐Convergent Meshless Computations for Active Vibration Control of Bi‐Directional Functionally Graded Terfenol‐D Beams with Twisted Geometry

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 9, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study develops a superconvergent meshless method to analyze and control vibrations in twisted, bidirectional functionally graded Terfenol‐D beams. By optimizing magnetostrictive patch placement, it demonstrates effective vibration suppression under dynamic loads, highlighting the design potential of strategically graded materials in complex ...

Hilltop buckling as the A and O in sensitivity analysis of the initial postbuckling behavior of elastic structures

open access: yesJournal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2009
The coincidence of a bifurcation point with a snap‐through point is called hilltop buckling. In this paper, it either serves as the starting point ‐ the ?
