Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Biologically Based Assay of Lower Extremity Impairment and Gait Velocity

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2017
Objectives. (a) To determine associations among motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitude, MEP latency, lower extremity (LE) impairment, and gait velocity and (b) determine the association between the presence of a detectable MEP signal with LE impairment ...

Investigating Crack Resistance Behavior of Polypropylene Using J integral, J‐R Curve and Fractographic Analysis

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the fracture response of polypropylene (PP) was assessed using J‐integral evaluation, J‐R curve construction, and fractography examination. J‐R and load–displacement curves were analyzed to determine critical loads and estimate J‐integral values based on standards established for polymer fracture testing, which led to the ...

Numerical Investigation of Stress Intensity and Geometry Correction Factors in Welded Longitudinal Stiffener Details

open access: yesFatigue &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.

Seasonal Ice Dynamics Control the Timing of Crevasse Drainage at a Fast‐Flowing Outlet Glacier

open access: yesAGU 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 ...

Multi‐Scale Rate‐ and Roughness‐Dependent Frictional Constitutive Law and Dynamic Earthquake Sequence Simulation

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Influence of Surface Flaw Interaction on Failure Assessment Diagram in the Framework of Fitness‐for‐Service Procedures

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1877-1894, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of closely spaced surface‐flaw interaction on failure assessment diagrams (FADs) used in fitness‐for‐service evaluations, addressing the conservatism introduced when standards such as BS 7910 and API 579 recharacterize interacting flaws as a single bounding crack.

Hydraulic fracture optimization by using a modified Pseudo-3D model in multi-layered reservoirs

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
