A Novel Approach for ∆K Estimation in the Fatigue Threshold Region Based on ΔKth and Kmax,th

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 653-662, February 2026.
ABSTRACT A novel procedure, proposed by Kujawski and Vasudevan 1, has been evaluated as an alternative to the ASTM E647 standard for determining the ∆Kth and Kmax,th thresholds. This method relies solely on the actual propagation of cracks, which occurs only when both thresholds are satisfied simultaneously. For long cracks, a more efficient estimation

LCA‐based evaluation of greenhouse gas reduction potentials of carbon/carbon wheel brakes for medium‐haul aircraft

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 23, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Air transport is expected to substantially grow in the next decades, presenting a significant challenge for the aviation industry to reconcile this growth with the need to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A viable strategy for diminishing aviation emissions involves reducing aircraft fuel consumption, which ...

Optimal recovery from microburst wind shear [PDF]

open access: yes
Severe low-altitude wind variability represents an infrequent but significant hazard to aircraft taking off or landing. During the period from 1964 to 1985, microburst wind shear was a contributing factor in at least 26 civil aviation accidents involving

Does the setting matter? Characterizing and classifying rural and urban arsonists

open access: yesLegal and Criminological Psychology, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 158-184, February 2026.
Abstract Background Thousands of fires are deliberately ignited around the world each year. The setting where it happens—rural versus urban areas—can lead to different crime opportunities. Rural arsonists set fires in vegetated areas, whereas urban arsonists target residences and other properties.

Influence of Temperature, Sunlight and Wind on the Mobilization of Propylene Glycol From Airport De‐Icers by Rainfall

open access: yesWater and Environment Journal, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 44-55, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Commercial anti‐icers and de‐icers (CADs) are essential for safe winter operation; yet, their mobilization remains poorly understood, limiting the ability of airport operators to optimize treatment processes, thus presenting a significant risk to freshwater ecosystems.
