Configurational Energy as a Microstructural Descriptor of Failure Precursors in 2D Frictional Granular Materials

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Localized deformation in dense granular materials, often culminating in the formation of shear bands, is a key failure mechanism in geotechnical and material systems. However, predicting the onset of such localization remains a fundamental challenge due to the system's inherent inelasticity and microstructural complexity.

Community‐based marine restoration to generate social licence and ecological knowledge for upscaling oyster reef restoration

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Community‐led restoration operates at the intersection of ecological feasibility and social acceptability. In the marine realm, restoration is challenging due to gaps in ecological knowledge on how and where to restore lost ecosystems and limited public engagement that provides social licence for restoration.

On the Damage Tolerance of Diffusion Bonded Titanium–Aluminum Phase Biomimetic Composites

open access: yesRare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The biomimetic design principles of natural structures involve the strategic integration of stiff and compliant phases to synergistically enhance strength and toughness. Its evolutionary refined natural armor, characterized by a specialized microarchitecture, enables superior damage tolerance.

Filomicelle‐Embedded Composite Hydrogels for Localized Gelation Within the Anterior Chamber of the Eye

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A composite hydrogel (C‐gel) incorporating PEG‐b‐PPS filomicelles enables localized in situ gelation and sustained nanocarrier release within the anterior chamber. The filamentous structure promotes spatial confinement of multi‐arm polymer crosslinking, even upon injection into large aqueous volumes, and gradually transitions into spherical micelles ...

Hybrid Coding For Animated Polygonal Meshes

open access: yes, 2008
A new hybrid coding method for compressing animated polygonal meshes is presented. This paper assumes the simplistic representation of the geometric data: a temporal sequence of polygonal meshes for each discrete frame of the animated sequence. The method utilizes a delta coding and an octree-based method.

Anisotropic Hierarchical Assembly of C60 from One Dimensional to Three Dimensional via Thiolate‐Mediated van der Waals Epitaxy

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
This work shows a thiolate‐mediated van der Waals epitaxial strategy that enables the growth of anisotropic C60 structures with tunable dimensionality on Au(111). By employing pentanethiol as a cohost species, we achieve precise structural control, yielding architectures from 1D C60 nanochains to 3D superstructures possessing an orthorhombic lattice ...

Nonlinear analysis of flat post‐tensioned concrete slab–edge column connections

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents nonlinear finite element analyses to investigate the punching shear behavior of unbonded post‐tensioned concrete flat slabs at slab‐edge column connections. A parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate the influence of four critical parameters on the punching shear resistance: the distribution of prestressing tendons ...
