Elastoplasticity Informed Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks Using Chebyshev Polynomials

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 3331-3354, 10 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks are predominantly used to develop data‐driven constitutive models for granular materials. They offer a compelling alternative to traditional physics‐based constitutive models in predicting non‐linear responses of these materials, for example, elastoplasticity, under various loading conditions. To attain the

Numerical Investigation of the Influence of Interparticle Cohesion During the Shear Behavior of Granular Soil

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 4020-4035, 25 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Interparticle cohesive forces play a crucial role in governing the shear behavior of many soils; however, quantifying this effect remains challenging due to limited microscopic insights available from laboratory experiments. In this context, the current study aims to investigate the influence of microscale cohesion on the shear response using ...

Evading Strength–Ductility Trade‐Off in Titanium Matrix Composites via High‐Critical Resolved Shear Stress Dislocation Promotion and Grain Subdivision

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The strength and ductility trade‐off in titanium matrix composites (TMCs) is a critical factor limiting their widespread application. In this study, a (TiB + TiC)/Ti–6Al–4V composite with an optimal balance between strength and ductility was engineered via multi‐directional forging.

Fluid‐Driven Cohesive Strengthening: Critical Role of Reaction Kinetics as the Determinant for Frictional Stability

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Following an earthquake, faults lock and regain strength via a combination of healing mechanisms that include pressure solution, contact growth, and cementation. Fault healing dictates strength recovery during the seismic cycle and is therefore a key factor controlling earthquake recurrence intervals, stress drop, and other source properties ...
