CZM Applications of Argus Coastal Imaging at the Gold Coast, Australia

Journal of Coastal Research, 2004
Abstract A video-based ARGUS coastal imaging system is being used at the northern Gold Coast, Australia to monitor and quantify the regional-scale coastal response to sand nourishment and construction of the world-first Gold Coast artificial (surfing) reef. This automated monitoring system is used to obtain hourly daylight images from four cameras that

Trends in the incidence of cancers of the breast and female genital tract in Harare, Zimbabwe 1990–2019

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 4, Page 844-852, 15 August 2026.
What's new? Cancers of the breast and female genital tract represent more than half of all cancers in women in sub‐Saharan Africa. Here, the authors assessed incidence trends in a female population living in urban sub‐Saharan Africa based on the Zimbabwe National Cancer Registry in Harare over a 30‐year period.

Simulation of crack growth for metal plates with holes based on cohesive zone model

Materials Research Express, 2022
Hole defects are very common in metal plates. The propagation of cracks in engineering structural members will be affected by the holes of the members, which will not only change the propagation direction of cracks, but also have the ability to limit the

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 8, Page 3697-3725, August 2026.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

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, Volume 50, Issue 11, Page 4518-4540, 10 August 2026.
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 ...

An in situ fatigue-CZM for unified crack initiation and propagation in composites under cyclic loading

, 2016
In this paper, a non-Paris-law-based, unified fatigue cohesive zone model (CZM) that can predict both fatigue crack initiation and propagation in composites with or without starter cracks or stress concentrators has been formulated and validated.
