Large Deformation Pile‐soil Interaction Under Lateral Vehicle Impact Using Hybrid SPH+FEM and EFG+FEM Models

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

Scheduling Bodyguards

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Security agencies around the world use bodyguards to protect government officials and public figures. In this paper, we consider a two‐person zero‐sum game between a defender who allocates such bodyguards to protect several targets and an attacker who chooses one target to attack.

Conditional Generative Modeling for Enhanced Credit Risk Management in Supply Chain Finance

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of cross‐border e‐commerce (CBEC) has created significant opportunities for small‐ and medium‐sized sellers, yet financing remains a critical challenge due to their limited credit histories. Third‐party logistics (3PL)‐led supply chain finance (SCF) has emerged as a promising solution, leveraging in‐transit inventory as ...

Finding Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Sets on Arbitrary Graphs

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A 2‐packing set for an undirected, weighted graph G=(V,E,w)$$ G=\left(V,\kern0.3em E,\kern0.3em w\right) $$ is a subset 𝒮⊆V such that any two vertices v1,v2∈𝒮 are not adjacent and have no common neighbors. The Maximum Weight 2‐Packing Set problem that asks for a 2‐packing set of maximum weight is NP$$ \mathbf{NP} $$‐hard. Next to 13 novel data

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.
