Local and non-local normalised equivalent strain functionals for cyclic fatigue [PDF]
The concept of Cyclic Normalised Equivalent Strain Functionals (CNESnFs) suitable for lowcyclic fatigue is developed in this paper. It reduces any fatigue strength and durability model to a unique form what facilitates the models comparison ...

Study of a Novel Bi‐Layered Thermoplastic Polyurethane Patch for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia
Large congenital diaphragmatic hernia remains a challenge due to the poor compatibility of current prostheses. To tackle this problem, a bilayer thermoplastic polyurethane patch with tunable mechanical properties is engineered, whose fibrous side supports rapid fibroblast and myoblast colonization, while the smooth film limits adhesions.

Pressure-dependent flow behavior of Zr_(41.2)Ti_(13.8)Cu_(12.5)Ni_(10)Be_(22.5) bulk metallic glass [PDF]
An experimental study of the inelastic deformation of bulk metallic glass Zr_(41.2)Ti_(13.8)Cu_(12.5)Ni_(10)Be_(22.5) under multiaxial compression using a confining sleeve technique is presented. In contrast to the catastrophic shear failure (brittle) in

A stress‐normalised sensitivity metric (S = G/Y) is introduced as a materials‐level benchmark for intrinsically piezoresistive nanocomposites. By decoupling electromechanical response (G) from stiffness (Y), the framework enables direct comparison across diverse systems and clarifies design trade‐offs for wearable sensors.
