International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 1218-1228, 10 February 2026.ABSTRACT Natural soils often exhibit clearly anisotropic mechanical properties, yet this characteristic is frequently overlooked in numerical models due to the practical challenges of determining anisotropic parameters. As a result, the influence of anisotropy remains difficult to anticipate, and engineers have limited tools to incorporate it into ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Salt's inherent weakness and capacity for ductile deformation create significant mechanical contrasts that locally perturb the stress field in surrounding rocks, often leading to deviations from regional tectonic stresses. Variations in local stress are a critical factor for wellbore stability, seal integrity, and fluid flow in subsurface ...

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract A small‐volume 6,000 m3 rockslide struck the Lorgino hamlet of Crevoladossola (NW Italy) just before 23:00 UTC on 26 January 2023, at the boundary of a nearby marble quarry. The rockslide severely damaged the mining infrastructure and halted operations for months, fortunately without causing injuries or casualties.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 272-290, February 2026.Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 35, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT While daytime napping could support recovery in athletes, poorly timed or prolonged naps may interfere with nighttime sleep. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of two different, well‐timed nap opportunity durations, 25 and 90 min, on subsequent objectively measured nighttime sleep in student athletes.

Microlayer Model: A Nonlinear Finite Strain Viscoelastoplastic Formulation for Asphalt
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.ABSTRACT The microlayer framework is an innovative and powerful approach for the numerical simulation of heterogeneous materials, such as aggregate‐matrix composites across multiple scales. In this study, the microlayer framework is extended for the first time to account for viscoelastic‐elastoplastic material behavior.

Development and mechanical properties of construction materials from lunar simulants [PDF]
The development of construction materials such as concrete from lunar soils without the use of water requires a different methodology than that used for conventional terrestrial concrete. Currently, this research involves two aspects: (1) liquefaction of
