Injectable Bone Cements: A Generational Framework for Bioactivity, Porosity, and Mechanobiological Design at the Nanoscale

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Key demographic, biological, and material considerations that drive the need for advanced injectable bone cement technologies. Injectable bone cements (IBCs) are widely used in orthopaedic and craniofacial applications due to their minimally invasive delivery and ability to provide early mechanical stabilisation.

Evaluation of the Adequacy of Design Specifications for Nonstructural Components in a Reticular Structure

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 10, Page 2132-2150, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nonstructural components (NSCs) installed in large‐span reticular structures were frequently severely damaged during earthquakes, even when the primary structure remained intact. Existing seismic design specifications for NSCs were predominantly developed for upright structures such as multi‐storey buildings and offer no guidance for reticular

Multiscale Characterization by Equibiaxial Tensile Testing and Time‐Domain 1H Solid State NMR for PTMC‐Based Networks for Tissue Growth

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
Equibiaxial tensile testing combined with DMA and Time‐domain 1H${^1}H$ Solid State NMR reveals that the thermomechanical behavior of PTMC networks is strongly correlated with their internal network structure. Cross‐link density and distribution, influenced by macromer molecular weight, directly control molecular mobility, and mechanical response ...

Anisotropic Initial Damage and Its Effect on Tensile Response of Plain Concrete

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4823-4845, 25 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Damage is often described as isotropic, implying that a scalar value describes its initial state. However, the prior micro‐cracking pattern at points of an existing building, that is, the initial damage, may be oriented by a preload. The degradation of the Volume Element due to oriented preloads shall be described as anisotropic and ...

Two Fatigue Life Prediction Models Based on the Critical Plane Theory and Artificial Neural Networks

Metals
Since a multiaxial loading environment may lead to the fatigue failure of structures, establishing a reliable fatigue model to predict the multiaxial fatigue lives of structures has always been a concern of engineers. This study proposes a new multiaxial

Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4893-4912, 25 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

Increasing the Reuse Potential of High‐Strength Steels by Extending the Fatigue Life through Surface Treatments

steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 8, Page 4326-4336, August 2026.
Surface reconditioning through mechanical and electrochemical polishing is shown to extend the fatigue life of predamaged 42CrMo4 steel by over 12 times. By removing ≈100 μm of surface material, surface‐driven fatigue damage is mitigated. This study introduces a reuse potential metric to evaluate fatigue recovery and support sustainable steel reuse.

Investigating Crack Resistance Behavior of Polypropylene Using J integral, J‐R Curve and Fractographic Analysis

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 3404-3419, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, the fracture response of polypropylene (PP) was assessed using J‐integral evaluation, J‐R curve construction, and fractography examination. J‐R and load–displacement curves were analyzed to determine critical loads and estimate J‐integral values based on standards established for polymer fracture testing, which led to the ...
