Phase Field Failure Modeling: Brittle‐Ductile Dual‐Phase Microstructures under Compressive Loading

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 17, 9 September 2026.
The approach by Amor and the approach by Miehe and Zhang for asymmetric damage behavior in the phase field method for fracture are compared regarding their fitness for microcrack‐based failure modeling. The comparison is performed for the case of a dual‐phase microstructure with a brittle and a ductile constituent.

Hydrogen‐Assisted Fracture of Iron‐Based Fe–Ni–Al Alloys

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 17, 9 September 2026.
Principal relations and fracture mechanisms of single‐phase and precipitate‐strengthened Fe–Ni–Al alloys subjected to prior electrochemical hydrogen charging are identified. The mechanisms of hydrogen effect on strength and microhardness are discussed, including hydrogen‐induced increase in microhardness and the role of hydrogen in fracture behavior ...

An effect factor approach for quantifying the entanglement impact on marine species of macroplastic debris within life cycle impact assessment [PDF]

, 2019
Plastic waste from anthropogenic activities is accumulating in the marine environment and poses a threat to marine biodiversity. Nevertheless, tools to assess the potential ecosystem damage from plastic waste are currently lacking from sustainability ...

Rivers as Plastic Reservoirs

Frontiers in Water, 2022
Land-based plastic waste, carried to the sea through rivers, is considered a main source of marine plastic pollution. However, most plastics that leak into the environment never make it into the ocean.

Common coastal best management practice materials are a microplastic source

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Coastal development has led to a reframing of shoreline protection best management practices (BMPs), which use geotextiles for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. One risk of geotextile use in dynamic coastal environments is degradation into microplastics.

Table_1_Rapid Assessment of Floating Macroplastic Transport in the Rhine.XLSX

, 2020
Most marine litter pollution is assumed to originate from land-based sources, entering the marine environment through rivers. To better understand and quantify the risk that plastic pollution poses on aquatic ecosystems, and to develop effective ...

Agricultural plastic mulch increases pesticide persistence in soils

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Plastic mulch films are widely used in agriculture, often in combination with pesticide application. While biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDM) are designed for soil incorporation, their influence on pesticide fate remains poorly understood.

Hydrology as a Driver of Floating River Plastic Transport

Earth's Future, 2022
Plastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems is a growing threat to ecosystem health and human livelihood. Recent studies show that the majority of environmental plastics accumulate within river systems for years, decades and potentially even longer.

First Report on the Diet of the Angolan Flying Squid (Todarodes angolensis) in New Zealand Waters

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
The Angolan flying squid (Todarodes angolensis) is a southerly distributed, large‐bodied ommastrephid preyed upon by many large marine vertebrates such as the southern elephant seal and deep‐sea squalid sharks. Here, we report its diet in New Zealand waters for the first time, identifying prey items from the stomach contents of 58 adults using ...

The shapes and sizes of macroplastics and other litter in rivers

Environmental Science & Technology
Limited data exists on physical and geometric properties of river litter. To resolve this, we reveal the physical-structural relationships of river litter, using two of the most comprehensive datasets generated to date. First, we dissect the properties of river litter using a detailed dataset of over 14,000 riverbank items, for which their dimensions ...
