Bio‐Inspired Bidirectional Winding Origami With Programmable Modular Reconfigurability and Scalability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bio‐inspired bidirectional‐winding origami platform enables scalable and programmable deployable structures. Double axial folding inspired by earwig hindwings and Flasher‐based hybridization create modular multilayer architectures with diverse attainable winding angles under fixed boundary conditions.

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Electroconductive MXene‐Thin‐Film‐Composite Membranes for Coupled Osmotic Concentration and PFAS Mineralization

Small, EarlyView.
An electroconductive MXene‐TFC membrane integrates osmotic dewatering with anodic oxidation to concentrate and mineralize PFOA at the membrane interface. The coupled AO‐PRO configuration accelerates degradation kinetics, achieves 99% rejection and up to 93% TOC removal, and lowers specific energy demand, offering a compact route for PFAS destruction ...

Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Sensitivity study on accuracy and relevant parameters in numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...
