Recent Developments in Sustainable Composites for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): A Review

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review presents the potential of using natural plant fibers and biodegradable polymers as sustainable printed circuit boards (PCBs). This review provides future directions in innovation and sustainable PCBs development. Bio‐composites PCBs are both environmentally friendly and sustainable due to the natural fibres they contain.

Variational Method and CZM‐Based FEM Mechanical Strength Assessment of Adhesively Bonded Hybrid Sisal‐Glass Reinforced HDPE Composite for Automobile Side Body Panel Application

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Adhesively bonded steel‐to‐hybrid sisal–glass/HDPE joints were experimentally and numerically assessed using a variational method and CZM‐based FEM. Optimal overlap (10 mm) and adhesive thickness (0.5 mm) achieved peak shear stress of 32 MPa, confirming lightweight, sustainable automotive panel potential. ABSTRACT This study investigates the mechanical

Seismological Evidence of Multiple Crustal Magma Reservoirs Beneath Mt. Wrangell in Southcentral Alaska

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract Recent studies have challenged the classical view of magma chambers as ephemeral, melt‐rich bodies confined to shallow depths beneath arc volcanoes at subduction zones. Instead, increasing evidence supports the existence of long‐lived, vertically extensive magmatic systems with persistent partial melts within the crust. Nevertheless, the depth

Numerical investigation of crack growth behaviour using a cohesive zone model [PDF]

, 1998
This thesis concerns modeling ductile fracture using a cohesive zone model (CZM) and finite element (FE) methods. A FE program system (FECGS), which includes a pre-processor and a post-processor, has been developed for that purpose. A simple CZM has been
