Brittle Creep as a Mechanism for Postseismic Relaxation in Upper Crustal Dolomite Marble

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract In many locations, earthquakes in the upper crust occur in carbonate rocks, whose deformation affects aftershock sequences and postseismic relaxation. We investigate the stress relaxation process and strain evolution in Jinping dolomite marble (porosity <0.2%) subjected to multi‐stage stress ramp‐relaxation cycles under confining pressures of ...

Torsional Vibration Analysis of Double‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes Incorporating Viscoelasticity and Nonlocal Elasticity Under Deformable Boundary Conditions

open access: yesZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the torsional vibration characteristics of double‐walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) considering viscoelastic effects and nonlocal elasticity theory. The equations of motion are formulated based on the nonlocal constitutive relations and viscoelastic material behavior to accurately capture the small‐scale and time ...

Negative Stiffness Induced and Controlled by Constriction

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), Volume 263, Issue 5, May 2026.
Structures with negative stiffness can be stabilized by constriction of external displacement. Furthermore, constriction can make a conventional positive stiffness material exhibit negative stiffness, either bidirectional or unidirectional (shown in the figure).

An efficient semi‐analytical approach for the free vibration behavior of DWCNTs on elastic foundations based on nonlocal elasticity theory

open access: yesZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In this study, a comprehensive analytical framework is developed to investigate the free vibration behavior of double‐walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) resting on an elastic foundation, based on Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory. The DWCNTs are modeled as two coupled Euler–Bernoulli (EB) beams, explicitly incorporating intertube van der ...

A Finite Element Study of the Bending Behavior of Beams Resting on Two-Parameter Elastic Foundation

open access: yesBulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2006
Although the Winkler’s model is a poor representation of the many practical subgrade or subbase materials, it is widely used in soil-structure problems for almost one and a half century.

Study on Impact of Foundation Pit Construction on Surrounding Tunnels Considering Its Shear Effect

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
It is necessary to assess the pit construction impact on surrounding tunnels. The improved Hermite interpolation difference scheme is used to derive the solution formula. Then, the rationality and applicability of the Timoshenko deep beam model considering the shield tunnel shear effect are verified by analyzing and comparing with the measured data of ...

Analytical Study on Longitudinal Dynamic Response of Long Tunnels Crossing Soil–Rock Stratum Under Rayleigh Wave Incidence

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In this study, the analytical solution of longitudinal dynamics of infinite length tunnel crossing the soil–rock stratum subjected to Rayleigh wave is studied. By introducing the transition zone, a more realistic simulation of the actual mechanical state at the interface between the soil and the rock mass can be achieved.
