Using Rubber Fillers to Fabricate Strain Gradient Material—An Excellent Approach for Developing High‐Toughness Cement‐Based Composites

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
Strain gradient cement‐based composites (SGCC) were fabricated by using rubber fillers in this study. This design of SGCC can realize the function of stress redistribution, multi‐crack dissipation, and efficient energy to improve the toughness of concrete structures.

Scaling‐Aware Rating of Poisson‐Limited Demand Forecasts

open access: yesJournal of Forecasting, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 787-805, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Forecast quality should be assessed in the context of what is possible in theory and what is reasonable to expect in practice. Often, one can identify an approximate upper bound to a probabilistic forecast's sharpness, which sets a lower, not necessarily achievable, limit to error metrics.

Validation of Integral Method for Numerical Prediction of Hybrid Rocket Internal Ballistics

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2013
In order to design hybrid rocket engines, we developed a numerical prediction method which describes the internal ballistics, thus the solid fuel regression rate. In order to obtain a fast code, simple but efficient models have been implemented.

Launch support: Managing complementor bottlenecks in the disruptive innovation of small satellites

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 758-803, March 2026.
Abstract Research Summary Through both qualitative and quantitative analyses of large‐rocket providers' support for small‐satellite manufacturers before the emergence of small rockets, we examine how disruptors to an incumbent ecosystem gain support from complementors of the incumbent technology.

Harnessing Satellite Constellations as Signals of Opportunity for an Enhanced Specification of the Satellite Drag Environment in the Critical LEO Regime

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Enhancing the accuracy of orbit predictions for low‐Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and debris is vitally important for satellite owner/operators dedicated to ensuring the safety and sustainability of the LEO environment. Presently, the largest source of error in orbit predictions stems from uncertainties in the estimation of thermospheric mass ...

Hybrid Rocket Engine Burnback Simulations Using Implicit Geometry Descriptions

open access: yesAerospace
The performance of hybrid rocket engines is significantly influenced by the fuel geometry. Burnback simulations, to determine the fuel surface and fluid volume, are therefore an important tool for preliminary design.
