Bistable Mechanisms 3D Printing for Mechanically Programmable Vibration Control
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.This work introduces a 3D‐printed bistable mechanism integrated into tuned mass dampers (TMDs) for mechanically adaptive passive vibration suppression. Through optimized geometry, the bistable design provides adaptable vibration reduction across a broad range of scenarios, achieving effective vibration mitigation without complex controls or external ...

Packaging of Macroscopic Material Payloads: Needs, Challenges, Concepts, and Future Directions
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 9, 6 May 2026.This review introduces a unified framework that decomposes any macroscopic packaging system into the payload, packaging material, and packaging strategy and combines them into a conceptual packaging equation: packaging strategy = payload + packaging material.

Batteries &Supercaps, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.Discrete element modelling is used to compare uniaxial flat‐plate compression and roller‐based calendering of battery electrodes. The microstructural evolution produced by both approaches is analysed, with a Froude‐number‐based scaling enabling efficient simulation of the roller process.

Degree theory for 4‐dimensional asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons
Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 5, Page 1151-1298, May 2026.Abstract We develop a new degree theory for 4‐dimensional, asymptotically conical gradient expanding solitons. Our theory implies the existence of gradient expanding solitons that are asymptotic to any given cone over S3$S^3$ with non‐negative scalar curvature. We also obtain a similar existence result for cones whose link is diffeomorphic to S3/Γ$S^3/\

How Does Heterogeneity Control Strain Localization Patterns in High‐Porosity Rocks?
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract We aim to explore how heterogeneous porosity and grain size contribute to strain localization patterns in highly porous rocks based on phase‐field simulations. The strain localization patterns, including shear bands, dilatation bands, and compaction bands, are commonly observed in geological field studies and laboratory experiments.

Phase‐Field Fracture Simulation of Pressurized Concrete Microstructure
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.ABSTRACT Pressurized cracks in concrete have a significant impact on the safety and durability of concrete structures. The peak strength of concrete is reduced in the presence of pressurized cracks. However, conducting pressure‐coupled strength evaluation experiments requires extensive effort, and simulation tools can complement the time‐consuming and ...
