Highly Nonlinear Solitary Waves for Rail Buckling Prevention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
One of the major structural problems in the railroads made of continuous welded rails is buckling in hot weather and breakage or pulling apart in cold weather.

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

An Analytical Study on the Thermal Post-Buckling Behaviors of Geometrically Imperfect FRC-Laminated Beams Using a Modified Zig-Zag Beam Model

open access: yesAerospace
An asymptotic analytical method is proposed to study the thermal post-buckling behaviors of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC)-laminated beams with geometric imperfections employing a modified zig-zag beam model.

The Influence of Fault Rupture Velocity on Ground Motions and Building Demands in the Near‐Fault Region

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
With the recent increases in measured ground motion records for large earthquakes, most notably the 2023 M7.8 Pazarcik earthquake in Türkiye, the potential for pervasive high velocity fault rupture propagation over an extensive fault length has been observed.

Pressure-driven wrinkling of soft inner-lined tubes

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2022
A simple equation modelling an inextensible elastic lining of an inner-lined tube subject to an imposed pressure difference is derived from a consideration of the idealised elastic properties of the lining and the pressure and soft-substrate forces.

Virtual testing of post-buckling behaviour of metallic stiffened panel [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of the project presented in this thesis is to demonstrate a modelling method for predicting the variability in the ultimate load of stiffened panel under axial compression due to manufacturing variability.

A new approach of predicting bifurcation points of elastic-plastic buckling of plates and shells [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
The paper proposes a new approach of predicting the bifurcation points of elastic-plastic buckling of plates and shells, which is obtained from the natural combination of the Lyaponov's dynamic criterion on stability and the modified adaptive Dynamic ...

A Data Driven Review of In Vitro Electrical and Mechanical Stimulation for Post‐Acute Phase Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 22, 12 June 2026.
This review examines how in vitro electrical and mechanical stimulation modulates wound healing in fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Analyzing over 560 experimental data points, we relate stimulation parameters to proliferation and migration outcomes, evaluate platform designs, and highlight the need for multi‐parameter optimization to advance targeted ...

Mode Interaction in Wide Plate with Closed Section Longitudinal Stiffeners Under Compression

open access: yesEngineering Transactions, 1987
Interaction of nearly simultaneous buckling modes in the presence of imperfections is studied. The investigation is concerned with an infinitely wide plate having thin-walled longitudinal stiffeners of trapezoid cross-section under uniform compression ...

On the bifurcation analysis of thin multilayer structures by the Asymptotic Numerical Method [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Theoretical, Computational and Applied Mechanics
This paper focuses on the stability analysis of multilayer thin shells using the asymptotic numerical method (ANM) combined with Padé approximants. This technique is highly effective for solving nonlinear problems due to its high-order algorithm that ...
