Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT We develop a physics‐informed Fourier Neural Operator (PINO) for the surrogate modeling of full‐field responses in polycrystalline microstructures. Reference stress and strain fields are generated using an FFT‐based full‐field solver under prescribed macroscopic loading. The model maps the crystallographic orientation field q(x)$\bm{q}(\bm{x})$

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT A systematic framework for the selection and assessment of hyperelastic constitutive models for rubber‐like materials is presented. The approach integrates verification, stability, and validation within a unified methodology to ensure reliable material parameter identification.

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5701-5711, November 2026.ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Integrating Grain to Ground Motion Data for Critical Rock Bridge and Slope Failure Analysis
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5891-5918, November 2026.ABSTRACT Rock masses can fail catastrophically with little warning, yet their stability depends on hidden internal connections that channel forces and localise damage. Among these, rock bridges–a “known unknown” in slope mechanics–lock fractured rock and control how failure unfolds, but their concealed geometry and uncertain strength obscure where and ...

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 4850-4862, November 2026.ABSTRACT Rigorous application of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) models coupled with crack propagation schemes can predict crack branching or zigzag trajectories near the crack tip, even when the macroscopic crack growth is straight. This arises from oscillations in the local damage field and is consistent with experimental observations of ductile ...
