Effective Material Stiffness in Curved Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
A new actuator effective material stiffness measurement method is created. It produces a new metric called shape actuation modulus with the potential to help design actuators. This method shows that the smaller the curvature of hinge‐shaped actuators, the stiffer they are.

Fatigue and Fracture Behavior in Advanced Layer‐Level SS316L‐17‐4PH Multi‐Material Fabrication via Powder Bed Fusion—Laser Beam

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 469-482, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The advent of AM engendered unprecedented control over materials distribution, spurring interest in multi‐material fabrication. Among AM techniques, powder bed fusion—laser beam (PBF‐LB) stands out, although it requires adaptation for multi‐material printing.

Ultrafast high‐temperature sintering of dental grade 4YSZ ceramics: Effects on microstructure and flexural strength

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 23, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract This study compares the effects of ultrafast high‐temperature sintering (UHS) and conventional sintering on the microstructural and mechanical properties of 4 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia, a ceramic widely used in dental restorations for its high strength, biocompatibility, and aesthetic qualities.

AUTO-SHAPE ANALYSIS OF IMAGE TEXTURES IN FRACTOGRAPHY

open access: yesImage Analysis and Stereology, 2011
The aim of this study is to estimate the velocity of fatigue crack growth (crack growth rate - CGR) from the texture in SEM images of crack surfaces. A simple and quick method is based on fitting training images as a linear combination of several small ...

Evaluating the Probability of Survival and Damage Mechanisms of Resin Matrix Ceramics: Insights Into Wear Progression and Surface Damage Under Fatigue

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 340-353, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study evaluated the probability of survival, failure modes, and fatigue‐induced wear progression, as well as assessed damage tolerance under simulated mastication in two resin matrix ceramics (polymer‐infiltrated ceramic networks (PICN) and resin nanoceramic (RNC)).

Fatigue life of high strength steel for cold forming

open access: yesMetalurgija, 2017
The article presents the results of fatigue tests carried out on STRENX-type high-strength cold forming steel. For high-cycle fatigue tests carried out using low cycle loading frequencies of around 30 Hz, a ROTOFLEX machine was used. For ultra high-cycle

Effects of Processing on the Mechanical Performance of GF‐PC Composites: A Multiscale Investigation

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 1300-1315, 20 January 2026.
From processing and interface conditions, to macro/micro scale characterization, and postmortem analysis. ABSTRACT A robust fiber‐matrix interface is crucial for any composite system, with higher challenges in thermoplastic matrices compared to thermosets (reaction in composite level).

Relationship between microstructure and fracture types in a UNS S32205 duplex stainless steel

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2013
Duplex stainless steels are susceptible to the formation of sigma phase at high temperature which could potentially be responsible for catastrophic service failure of components.
