Structural Network Optimization for the Liberalization of District Heating

Energy Technology, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study analyzes the liberalization of district heating through network interconnection using a combined framework of graph‐theoretic modeling, clustering, Cournot‐based competition, and multiobjective optimization. The results highlight structural trade‐o s between prices, producer profits, and infrastructure expenditure across alternative network ...

A Geometrically Regularized Gradient‐Damage Model With Orthogonality‐Based Energy Split for Dynamic Anisotropic Compression‐Shear Fracture

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 13, Page 5185-5212, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study proposes a novel geometrically regularized gradient‐damage model for simulating dynamic mixed‐mode fracture in orthotropic materials with tension–compression asymmetry. In this model, a thermodynamic framework is formulated by incorporating damage dissipation into internal energy evolution, from which the constitutive relation and ...

Computer Modeling of the Ferrite‐To‐Austenite Transformation in a Super‐Duplex Stainless Steel and the Important Role of Trans‐Interface Diffusion

steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 9, Page 4483-4493, September 2026.
An accurate moving boundary model for volume diffusion containing boundary conditions from trans‐interface diffusion (TID) simulates the austenite growth during cooling. TID of Cr, Mo, N and Ni enhance growth kinetics. Without TID, compositions of the interface region change, decreasing the driving force for growth and finally causing numerical ...

Nonlinear Force‐Extension Response of a Polyelectrolyte Chain Undergoing Mechano–Electrostatic–Conformational Coupling and Metastable Heterogeneity

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Mechanical stretching drives a collapsed polyelectrolyte through globular, tadpole‐like, and extended conformations with concurrent charge redistribution. Counterion condensation neutralizes the compact head, whereas release sustains a highly ionized tail.
