A Coupled Extended Finite Element–Cohesive Zone Model for Hydraulic Fracture Propagation Under Poroelastic Effects Across Different Propagation Regimes

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Numerical simulation of hydraulic fracturing remains challenging due to the strong coupling between geomechanics and fluid flow when modelling multiple physical mechanisms of rock deformation, fracture evolution and fluid leak‐off. This study develops a coupled hydraulic fracture propagation framework that combines the extended finite element ...

Polymaterial Lattice Discrete Particle Model for the Optimization of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete: Intragranular Fracture and Compression Behavior

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers clear advantages for sustainable construction, including reduced density and improved thermal insulation. However, its mechanical and fracture behavior is difficult to characterize due to the heterogeneity and brittle crushing of porous lightweight aggregates.

General Variational Formulation of Axisymmetric Capillary Bridges: Modeling Contact Angle Hysteresis and Capillary Forces

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work presents a general framework for deriving the Young–Laplace equation and the Young's equations for an axisymmetric capillary bridge between two parallel plates by minimizing the system's total energy. These Young's equations naturally emerge as boundary conditions associated with the Young–Laplace equation.

Skeletal Trauma and Social Dynamics in Medieval Silves (Southern Portugal): Islamic Versus Christian Populations

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skeletal trauma provides insight into both accidental injury and interpersonal violence, reflecting everyday risk and social dynamics. This study tests the hypothesis that trauma, particularly among males, was more prevalent in the Islamic population of Silves (9th–13th centuries) than in the subsequent Christian rule (13th century onwards ...
