Creating Flood Disasters: Environmental Memory and Adaptation in Aotearoa New Zealand

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 2, June 2026.
This article explores three questions. First, why does New Zealand have widespread flooding hazards? Second, why are these persistent, with little seemingly learned from the memory of earlier events? And third, beyond reiterating conventional solutions, what examples of alternatives or adaptations are being developed in different places?

Elastoplasticity Informed Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks Using Chebyshev Polynomials

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 8, Page 3331-3354, 10 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks are predominantly used to develop data‐driven constitutive models for granular materials. They offer a compelling alternative to traditional physics‐based constitutive models in predicting non‐linear responses of these materials, for example, elastoplasticity, under various loading conditions. To attain the

An Investigation into the Liquefaction Phenomena in the Iskenderun Bay Following the February 6 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake

Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences
This study investigates the liquefaction phenomena in the İskenderun Bay by revisiting the site that was liquefied during the first major strike of the Kahramanmaraş earthquake events on February 6th, 2023 (with a moment magnitude of 7.7).

Numerical Investigation of the Influence of Interparticle Cohesion During the Shear Behavior of Granular Soil

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 4020-4035, 25 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Interparticle cohesive forces play a crucial role in governing the shear behavior of many soils; however, quantifying this effect remains challenging due to limited microscopic insights available from laboratory experiments. In this context, the current study aims to investigate the influence of microscale cohesion on the shear response using ...

Radiation‐Based 3D Dual‐Mode Thermal Management Devices: Advances in Active/Passive Switching for Energy‐Saving Applications

Small, Volume 22, Issue 35, 23 June 2026.
Heating and cooling energy demand account for nearly half of the global energy consumption. SH and RC offer sustainable, zero‐energy strategies, but single‐mode devices lack adaptability. 3D dual‐mode devices, exploiting axial, flipping, and bending deformations, provide reversible switching with dynamic or passive control, representing a promising ...

Reactivation Mechanism of Dormant Earthflows: Insights From the San Benedetto Landslide (Northern Apennines, Italy)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Earthflows are landslides in fine‐grained materials that alternate long dormant phases of very slow movement with short paroxysmal stages of rapid motion. These rapid phases are highly destructive, often causing severe damage to buildings and infrastructure.

Soil behavior under artificial liquefaction, soil improvement at risk of liquefaction

, 2019
Soil liquefaction has caused and is still at the origin of significant damage to infrastructure and construction building. Therefore, this phenomenon has been a topic of many studies in recent decades. However, some results remain controversial and insufficient, in particular the influence of fine particles on liquefaction as well as methods of ...

Influence of Shaking Sequence on Liquefaction Resistance and Shear Modulus of Sand Through Shaking Table Tests

Geosciences
Case histories have shown that the liquefaction behavior of soils can differ depending on the pre-seismic history of sites. Assessing the shear modulus in soils subjected to seismic events is critical for advancing the fundamental understanding of soil ...

Sequential Evolution of Residual Liquefaction in a Silty Seabed: Effect of Wave-Loading History

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Multiple liquefaction events may occur if a seabed is subjected to repeated but intermittent wave loadings. This study aimed to investigate the influence of the wave-loading history on the evolution of residual liquefaction in a silty seabed through a ...
