Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 2654-2669, July 2026.ABSTRACT The safe operation of aging steel railway bridges requires reliable fatigue assessment of welded structural details. Welded longitudinal stiffeners, while not directly loaded, influence structural stiffness and are susceptible to fatigue cracking at weld transitions.

Fracture Assessment of DEMO Divertor Components Under Thermo‐Mechanical Loads
Macromolecular Symposia, Volume 415, Issue 3, June 2026.ABSTRACT Nuclear fusion represents a promising pathway toward large‐scale, sustainable, and low‐impact energy production. However, the extreme operating conditions within fusion reactors, characterized by high temperatures, intense neutron irradiation, and severe mechanical and magnetic loads, place significant demands on the structural integrity of ...

Hydraulic fracture optimization by using a modified Pseudo-3D model in multi-layered reservoirs
Journal of Natural Gas Geoscience, 2018 The aim of hydraulic fracturing optimization is to maximize well productivity index by optimizing fracture geometry parameters. Height in geometry calculation is the most important parameter, especially in the multi-layered reservoirs due to the ...

Seasonal Ice Dynamics Control the Timing of Crevasse Drainage at a Fast‐Flowing Outlet Glacier
AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Crevasse field drainage transfers at least half of the seasonal runoff from the surface to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet, but the patterns of drainage are complex and spatio‐temporally heterogenous. To better understand controls on crevasse drainage processes, we use an automated deep learning method to map the seasonal filling and ...

Thermal fracture characteristics of an interface crack subjected to temperature variations
Production Engineering Archives, 2020 Thermal fracture characteristics – the thermal energy release rate and thermal stress intensity factor of a semi-infinite crack at an interface between the two elastic isotropic materials, subjected to the temperature variations, are considered in this ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The physical mechanisms that govern the multi‐scale source properties of earthquakes, such as fracture energy scaling, where the dynamic energy dissipation of earthquakes scales with fault slip, remain debatable. We introduced the rate‐ and roughness‐dependent friction (RRF) law which accounts for the multi‐scale roughness evolution of the ...
