Simple and detailed modeling of corrosion‐affected slender shear critical RC beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion of steel bars compromises both the safety and the serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Consequently, reliable tools are required to estimate the detrimental effects of corrosion on the structural response of RC members subjected to transverse loads.

Characterization of ply mixing rules for non-symmetric forms of fully orthotropic laminates [PDF]

, 2007
Stacking sequence listings are presented for fully orthotropic angle-ply laminates, with up to 21 plies, together with rules for mixing these sequences to form laminates containing any number of plies.

Deep Learning‐Based Phase‐Field Modelling of Brittle Fracture in Anisotropic Media

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
ABSTRACT This work presents a variational physics‐informed deep learning framework for phase‐field modelling of brittle crack propagation in anisotropic media. Previous variational energy‐based neural network (NN) approaches have focused on second‐order, isotropic phase‐field fracture formulations and have relied on fully connected NNs.

A Review of Failure Modes and Safety Strategies of Lithium‐Ion Batteries from Materials to Systems

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 42, 28 July 2026.
A cascade‐aware framework is presented for lithium‐ion battery safety, linking thermal runaway initiation, acceleration, runaway reaction, and propagation with material‐, cell/pack‐, and system‐level interventions. By integrating failure mechanisms, quantitative safety indicators, and staged interception strategies, this review highlights how safer ...

A Soft Robotic Device for Targeted Massage Therapy of Residual Limbs

Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 3, June 2026.
Residual limb edema after amputation can hinder recovery and delay prosthetic fitting. This study presents a soft‐robotic wearable device that delivers sequential compression through pneumatic McKibben actuators. By replicating the principles of manual lymphatic drainage, the device generates controlled mechanotherapeutic pressure patterns, providing a

Failure Mechanisms of Short Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials Subjected to Dynamic Loading

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 9, Page 8273-8287, 10 May 2026.
Failure Mechanisms of Short Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials Subjected to Dynamic Loading. ABSTRACT The mechanical behavior of short carbon fiber reinforced polylactic acid (SCF/PLA) composites fabricated by fused deposition modeling (FDM) is crucial for engineering applications, yet their strain‐rate dependence is not fully understood.

A Bottom‐Up Design Framework for Multifunctional Lattice Metamaterials

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study introduces a generative AI framework for designing multifunctional lattice metamaterials. The method combines 3D Gaussian voxel generation with deep learning, enabling greater design freedom and structural performance. The optimized lattice metamaterials achieve enhanced energy absorption by 40–200% compared to conventional structures and ...

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of

Postbuckling of Orthotropic Annular Plates

, 1973
The postbuckling behavior of orthotropic annular plates due to in-plane compressive loads applied at the outer edge is considered. The governing differential equations are derived by extending von Karman’s nonlinear plate theory to include orthotropic ...
