Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Damage by Void Nucleation and Growth [PDF]

, 2011
Voids are observed to be generated under sufficient loading in many materials, ranging from polymers and metals to biological tissues. The presence of these voids can have drastic implications at the macroscopic level including strong material softening ...

Co‐phylogeny and biogeography of the myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri (Carabidae, Paussinae) and its host ant Pheidole pallidula (Hymenoptera, Myrmicinae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Strict patterns of co‐divergence have rarely been documented other than among organisms and their symbionts. In this paper, using a molecular approach, we inferr the population‐level phylogenies of a Mediterranean ant species Pheidole pallidula and its nest parasite, the obligate myrmecophilous beetle Paussus favieri. We then investigate the role of co‐

Comparison of Mesoscale Crack Advance and Process Zone Element Approaches for Simulating Ductile Crack Trajectories in Steel

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rigorous application of continuum damage mechanics (CDM) models coupled with crack propagation schemes can predict crack branching or zigzag trajectories near the crack tip, even when the macroscopic crack growth is straight. This arises from oscillations in the local damage field and is consistent with experimental observations of ductile ...

Overshooting of Hypoplastic Models With Intergranular Strain: Manifestation, Implications and Remedy

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 13, Page 5068-5091, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Intergranular strain extensions of hypoplasticity (IGS, ISA, GIS) are widely used to model small‐strain and cyclic soil behaviour. However, recent studies and our own simulations reveal that these models can exhibit stress overshooting not only under repeated small loading cycles but also during monotonic loading.

Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4893-4912, 25 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

Structurally‐Controlled Permeability Evolution and Mineralization in Geothermal Caprocks: The Fenice Capanne Mining District (Southern Tuscany, Italy)

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Neogene mineralized region of the Colline Metallifere in southern Tuscany (Italy) provides a natural laboratory to investigate feedback between fluid–rock interaction, structurally controlled fluid flow, and hydrothermal ore mineralization.

Acute and chronic application of novel incremental breath‐hold technique increases endurance exercise performance in healthy men and male military personnel

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Abstract We evaluated acute (Study A) and chronic (Study B) effects of a novel breath‐hold technique (BHT) protocol on performance in military personnel. In Study A, 11 healthy male participants completed either rest or a 40‐min BHT before 15 min steady‐state (SS) cycling at 80% V̇O2max and a 5‐min time trial (TT). BHT acutely increased V̇O2 (200.3%, p

Upscaling the Strength Domain of Heterogeneous Cohesive‐Frictional Materials via a General FFT‐Based Limit Analysis Approach

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Limit analysis and yield design provide a well‐defined mathematical framework for upscaling the strength properties of heterogeneous materials. These techniques can be incorporated into an FFT‐based computational micromechanics framework to evaluate the strength of heterogeneous materials, based on images of their microstructure.

A new smooth failure criterion for concrete inspired by Lubliner's condition

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 4147-4163, June 2026.
Abstract A new failure criterion with 10 parameters is proposed, based on Lubliner's idea of joining two Drucker–Prager cones. The novelty lies in the way of introducing deviatoric shape variation: through two Podgórski's functions. This feature allows for improving plane stress cross‐section's compatibility with experimental data.
