Of cables and threads

open access: yesAmerican Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 283-295, August 2026.
Abstract Over the past two decades, gondola lifts have become central to interventions in urban Latin America's auto‐constructed peripheries. As cable car urbanism reshapes the city's edge, it raises fundamental questions about the notion of the “urban fabric” as a sociomaterial practice, an epistemology, and a site of politics.

Seismic Risk of Critical Transport Systems: Sensitivity Analysis of the Campania Railway Network to Bradyseism's Features

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of epistemic uncertainties on the seismic risk of a critical transport system, the Campania railway network, during the ongoing bradyseismic unrest at Campi Flegrei, south of Italy. Seismic risk is quantified as the length of the railway requiring post‐event inspection, an operational proxy for service disruption.

A Matrix‐Free, Scalable, and Robust Implicit Material Point Method

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 14, 30 July 2026.
ABSTRACT An implicit material point method is presented using a new dynamic relaxation solver, allowing for a simple and efficient quasi‐static formulation that may be readily implemented in existing explicit‐dynamic codes. The use of dynamic relaxation and aggregation is shown to produce an extremely robust material point method scheme, with good ...

Surface and Boundary Corrections in Peridynamics Using Optimized Nodal Influence Weights

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 14, 30 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Peridynamics (PD), similarly to some other nonlocal continuum theories, exhibits truncated interaction horizons near free surfaces, cracks, and voids in bounded domains. This loss of neighbors causes artificial surface effects and inconsistencies in the derivative and energy operators that persist under discretization refinement, limiting PD ...

Dansgaard‐Oeschger Events Recorded in Low‐Latitude Marine Sediments and Teleconnection With High‐Latitude Climate Variations

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Dansgaard‐Oeschger (D‐O) events are millennial‐scale high‐latitude climate oscillations with abrupt climate transitions between stadial and interstadial conditions, which are well recorded in and outside of high northern latitudes. However, their signal propagation mechanisms from high to low latitudes are uncertain.
