Novel Surface‐Based Bézier Metamaterials: A Higher Degree of Parametrization toward Tailoring the Effective Properties under Compression

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 22, November 2025.
Cubic Bézier curves are used in the synthesis of novel surface‐based metamaterials with tunable mechanical properties. Surface‐based geometries are 3D printed and tested in compression. The resulting mechanical properties are correlated to changes in the shape of the base curve, with high potential in energy absorption through the adjustment of their ...

Weakly Enforced Boundary Conditions for the NURBS-Based Finite Cell Method [PDF]

, 2012
In this paper, we present a variationally consistent formulation for the weak enforcement of essential boundary conditions as an extension to the finite cell method, a fictitious domain method of higher order. The absence of boundary fitted elements in

Comparing cranial biomechanics between Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis: Is there a universal killing‐bite among saber‐toothed predators?

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2962-2975, November 2025.
Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

The Discretization‐Corrected Particle Strength Method for the Barotropic Vorticity Equations

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 97, Issue 11, Page 1426-1440, November 2025.
Numerical solution for the barotropic vorticity equation in complex geometry using the meshless point collocation method. The spatial domain is represented by a set of nodes. The collocation method numerically solves the strong form governing equations.

Domain‐adaptive self‐supervised learning for corrosion detection and 3D building information model mapping in steel tunnels

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 26, Page 4425-4447, 7 November 2025.
Abstract Accurate detection and localization of steel corrosion in tunnel infrastructure remains a major challenge, particularly under conditions of variable lighting, limited accessibility, and visual domain shifts common in real‐world inspection scenarios.
