ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

Capillary Dynamics Analysis of Millimetric Tubes for Anti‐Slip Surfaces: A Phase‐Field Based Finite Element Approach and Experimental Validation

Advanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 9, Issue 2, February 2026.
Phase‐field method based numerical modelling of the capillary rise in millimeter‐sized tubes, aiming for anti‐slip applications. The experimental validation was performed through capillary assays in polyethylene oxide (PEO) bulk modified polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) channels.

Multimodal Locomotion of Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This review comprehensively surveys recent advances in multimodal locomotion within soft robotics. Typical locomotion modes are summarized and categorized. Furthermore, the underlying mechanisms enabling multimodal locomotion are discussed and classified into three primary categories: active control‐based, reconfiguration‐based, and environment ...

Fluid–Structure Interaction Simulation of Vortex-Induced Vibration of a Flexible Hydrofoil [PDF]

Journal of Vibration and Acoustics, 2017
Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is investigated in this study for vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a flexible, backward skewed hydrofoil. An in-house finite element structural solver finite element analysis nonlinear (FEANL) is tightly coupled with the open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) library openfoam to simulate the interaction of a ...

Chemical Mechanical Polishing of Plasma‐Modified Cu/Polymer Interfaces for Advanced Hybrid Bonding

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, 14 January 2026.
Hybrid bonding demands planarization of Cu/polymer interfaces, but soft polymers like benzocyclobutene (BCB) are difficult to polish by conventional chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). It is demonstrated that Ar plasma modification transforms BCB into a CMP‐compatible surface, enabling effective planarization and void‐free bonding.

Fiber‐Modified Open‐Graded Friction Courses: Unveiling Enhanced Workability and Durability in Pavements

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Open‐Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixtures for flexible pavements. ABSTRACT Open‐Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixtures in flexible pavements are known for their efficient drainage characteristics, but concerns exist regarding their structural weaknesses and short lifespans. This study investigates methods to improve the mechanical performance of OGFC

Curvature-induced stiffening of a fish fin [PDF]

, 2017
How fish modulate their fin stiffness during locomotive manoeuvres remains unknown. We show that changing the fin's curvature modulates its stiffness. Modelling the fin as bendable bony rays held together by a membrane, we deduce that fin curvature is ...
