Exploring the Role of Footwear in Trail Running and Hiking: A Scoping Review

open access: yesJournal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Off‐road activities such as trail running and hiking have undergone a significant surge in global popularity over the last 2 decades, but this engagement also raises the potential for musculoskeletal injuries, which are prevalent and comparable to rates reported in road running.

Digital Phenotyping of Physical Activity and Mortality in Cancer Survivors

open access: yesMedComm – Future Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
The study analyzed wrist‐worn accelerometer data from 864 cancer survivors in the NHANES dataset (left panel). We identified three key digital phenotypes and their optimal thresholds for survival benefit: MIMS Volume (> 4945), Intensity (> 24), and Variability (> 2.4) (middle panel).

Comparison of Consumer Smartwatch and Research‐Grade Accelerometer‐Derived Step Counts in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

open access: yesMuscle &Nerve, Volume 74, Issue 3, Page 580-589, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Objective, scalable measures of function are needed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Research‐grade accelerometers are promising but may be difficult to deploy for prolonged remote monitoring, whereas consumer smartwatches offer a practical alternative. We evaluated the feasibility of long‐term smartwatch monitoring in

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

open access: yesInternational 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.

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4037-4060, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

The Theory of Critical Distances for Predicting the Static Failure of Double‐Lap Bolted Joints With Conventional and Additively Manufactured 316L Stainless Steel Inner Plates

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 3831-3853, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study assesses the accuracy of the theory of critical distances applied in the form of the point method in predicting the static strength of 316L stainless steel double‐lap shear bolted connections under static tensile loading. Single‐ and double‐bolt configurations were tested using inner plates manufactured from conventional material ...

Time‐dependent (Creep) Compaction in Volcanic Rocks

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Porous volcanic rocks form volcanic edifices and host key geothermal reservoirs worldwide. When subjected to constant stress above dilatancy in the brittle regime, these materials undergo time‐dependent failure known as brittle creep. In the ductile regime, where deformation is compactive, time‐dependent compaction—compaction creep—has been ...
