How Does Heterogeneity Control Strain Localization Patterns in High‐Porosity Rocks?
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract We aim to explore how heterogeneous porosity and grain size contribute to strain localization patterns in highly porous rocks based on phase‐field simulations. The strain localization patterns, including shear bands, dilatation bands, and compaction bands, are commonly observed in geological field studies and laboratory experiments.

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 1656-1679, May 2026.ABSTRACT Metal additive manufacturing (AM) provides a pathway for creating highly optimized components that would be difficult to produce using traditional manufacturing methods. However, regardless of printing parameters or postprocessing, porosity remains a prevalent challenge in AM components because strain concentrates in the vicinity of the pore ...

Intrinsic Hardness Evolution and Indentation Size Effect Modeling in Cu/Co Doped ZnO, TiO2, and SnO2
Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 109, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Metal oxides such as ZnO, TiO2, and SnO2 are widely used in structural and functional applications; however, their micromechanical performance is often limited by pronounced indentation size effects and surface‐related deformation behavior.

Adsorption Preceding Wetting Front Controls Seismic Velocity
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.Abstract Rock elasticity varies with both humidity and water saturation, yet their combined effects remain poorly understood, although in nature vapor adsorption and liquid infiltration occur simultaneously. Here, we present experimental data of P‐wave velocity and volume expansion in a free‐standing sandstone subject to progressive wetting.
