Assessment of Snow Cover Fraction Parameterizations for High Resolution Snowpack Reanalyses

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.
Recent advances in estimating snow water equivalent (SWE) use remotely sensed snow‐covered area data, especially in mountains where precipitation is uncertain. The process relies on a scale‐dependent snow cover fraction (SCF) parameterization. At 100 m resolution, an asymptotic parameterization performed best, reducing SCF RMSE to 16% when assimilating

Structural Health Monitoring of a Unidirectional Isolation Bridge: Bidirectional Seismic Behavior, Stochastic Model Updating, and Prediction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 759-780, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Research on Collaborative Estimation of SOC and SOH for Lithium‐Ion Batteries Based on BS‐SRCKF‐DEKF

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 1416-1430, March 2026.
This paper presents a novel method for jointly estimating the state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) in lithium‐ion battery systems. A second‐order hysteresis RC model and the BS‐SRCKF‐DEKF algorithm are used to improve estimation accuracy. Simulation and experimental results verify the method′s robustness and superior performance.

Characterization of Fuel Rods Supported by Dimple‐Less Spacer Grids and Subjected to Nonlinear Vibrations

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 6, Issue 1, Page 3-21, March 2026.
ABSTRACT An experimental campaign was undertaken to demonstrate the applicability of the Bouc–Wen hysteretic model to describe the hysteretic system of the recent Framatome dimple‐less spacer grid design for Pressurized Water Reactors. The experimental setup subjected a reduced‐length fuel rod, supported at both ends by dimple‐less grids, to forced ...

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

Fatigue &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
