Surface and Boundary Corrections in Peridynamics Using Optimized Nodal Influence Weights

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 14, 30 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Peridynamics (PD), similarly to some other nonlocal continuum theories, exhibits truncated interaction horizons near free surfaces, cracks, and voids in bounded domains. This loss of neighbors causes artificial surface effects and inconsistencies in the derivative and energy operators that persist under discretization refinement, limiting PD ...

A Quasicontinuum Method With Optimized Local Maximum‐Entropy Interpolation and Heaviside Enrichment for Heterogeneous Lattices

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 14, 30 July 2026.
ABSTRACTLattice systems are indispensable for modeling and analyzing physical phenomena in materials with discrete or heterogeneous micro‐ or meso‐structures. However, the computational requirements for practical engineering applications of lattice systems remain high.

Numerical Anisotropy and Band‐Gap Formation in Finite Element Wave Propagation: Analysis and Mitigation Using Spline‐Based Elements

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 14, 30 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Numerical anisotropy and dispersion are inherent consequences of spatial discretization in finite element modeling of wave propagation. In two‐dimensional problems, these effects manifest not only as direction‐dependent phase and group velocities but also as angularly dependent numerical band gaps that may entirely suppress wave propagation ...

Texoskeletons: Developing the Fundamental Technologies for Creating Intelligent Soft Robotic Clothing With Integrated 1D Sensors and Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 60, 27 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Traditional wearable exoskeletons rely on rigid structures, which limit comfort, flexibility, and everyday usability. This work introduces the fundamental technologies to create the first soft, lightweight, intelligent textile‐based exoskeletons (Texoskeletons) built using 1D sensors and actuators.

Toward Intelligent Adhesive Fibrillary Gripping Systems: Soft Coil–Based Misalignment And Shape Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2026.
A coil‐based soft sensor is presented for auto‐adaptive control of bioinspired dry adhesive robotic end‐effectors. The sensor enables misalignment detection during continuous motion and discriminates planar and convex surface geometries. Integrated into activated adhesive structures, the system achieves high angular accuracy and robust object ...
