Configurational Energy as a Microstructural Descriptor of Failure Precursors in 2D Frictional Granular Materials

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 2470-2485, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT Localized deformation in dense granular materials, often culminating in the formation of shear bands, is a key failure mechanism in geotechnical and material systems. However, predicting the onset of such localization remains a fundamental challenge due to the system's inherent inelasticity and microstructural complexity.

Large Deformation Pile‐soil Interaction Under Lateral Vehicle Impact Using Hybrid SPH+FEM and EFG+FEM Models

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 2648-2669, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

Mechanical and Microstructural Characterization of Hybrid Palm Fiber–Carbon Fiber Composites

open access: yesSPE Polymers, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Hybrid fiber‐reinforced polymer composites combining natural and synthetic reinforcements offer a promising route toward lightweight and sustainable structural materials. In this study, carbon fiber–palm tree fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composites were fabricated using a hand lay‐up technique with a symmetric sandwich‐type stacking sequence,

Algebraic Multigrid Based Preconditioning Approaches for Generalized Continuum Models and Indirect Displacement Control Techniques

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 6, 30 March 2026.
ABSTRACT The contribution deals with algebraic multigrid (AMG) based preconditioning methods for the iterative solution of a coupled linear system of equations arising in numerical simulations of failure of quasi‐brittle materials using generalized continuum approaches.

Motional Induction in Ganymede's Ocean

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We investigate the magnetic signature of oceanic circulation in Ganymede's subsurface ocean using kinematic induction modeling. Our approach couples zonal jet flows from rotating thermal convection simulations with magnetic field models incorporating Ganymede's internal dynamo and external contributions from Jupiter.
