Review of Catenary Icing on High‐Speed Railways: Characteristics, Impact and Countermeasures

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pantograph–catenary system (PCS) is the only path for electrified railway trains to acquire energy. Catenary icing during winter is a common natural phenomenon, which usually leads to the deterioration of the current quality and severely affects the operational safety of trains.

Nonlinear analysis on mechanical behaviour of high strength steel extended endplate connections and equivalent T-stubs in fire considering axial force

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
In fire, ignoring the axial force acting on the high strength steel (HSS) beam-column endplate connections when considering catenary action may lead to a safety risk for the whole steel structure.

A New Model of Feeding Biomechanics Based on Tied‐Arch Principles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This new biomechanical model explains the major stress and strain patterns generated through the cranium during biting. The model proposes that the cranium resolves bite‐induced reaction forces through arcs of compressive stress that span the cranial structure between biting teeth and both jaw joints.

Topology Optimization in Civil Engineering − On the Consideration of Concrete Failure Characteristic and Self‐Weight

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The mechanical efficiency of civil engineering structures is a key factor in the sustainable transformation of the building sector. This study presents topology optimization in civil engineering design. The static load profile of civil engineering structures is typically dominated by their self‐weight, which introduces, as a special ...

Comparison of Power and Thrust Performance for a Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines have been identified as a critical technology for sustainable electricity generation. Wind resource assessment is used to determine optimal locations for floating wind farms. However, current methodologies do not account for performance differences between fixed and floating turbines due to wind‐ and wave ...
