Large Deformation Pile‐soil Interaction Under Lateral Vehicle Impact Using Hybrid SPH+FEM and EFG+FEM Models

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 2648-2669, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

The Power Behind the Plants: Energy Scenarios in Vertical Farming

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Vertical farms are often promoted as environmentally friendly options; however, evidence on the environmental performance of commercial facilities is limited, particularly within Mediterranean climates. This study reports a cradle‐to‐grave life cycle assessment (LCA) of a large‐scale commercial vertical farm producing lettuce in the Lombardy ...

Elastic Local Buckling Analysis of a Sandwich Corrugated Steel Plate Pipe-Arch in Underground Space

Buildings
In underground spaces, corrugated steel plate (CSP) pipe-arches may experience local buckling instability, which can subsequently lead to the failure of the entire structure.

Multifaceted Behavior and Functional Versatility of Ferritic Stainless Steels, Part I: Applications and Processing, a Review

steel research international, Volume 97, Issue 3, Page 1201-1225, March 2026.
This review investigates the processing‐microstructure‐property relationships in ferritic stainless steels (FSSs). It highlights advances in deformation behavior, heat treatments, surface modifications, and alloying effects. Theoretical models, including Johnson‐Mehl‐Avrami‐Kolmogorov, Arrhenius, nucleation theory, and diffusion theories, are discussed

A Portable Multi‐Parameter Fluid Monitoring Unit for Real‐Time Measurements During Well Development and Geothermal Operations

Groundwater Monitoring &Remediation, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 89-97, Spring 2026.
Abstract Monitoring of fluid parameters during well development, groundwater production, or geothermal operation is essential for the understanding of subsurface and well processes. We developed FluMoMax, a portable fluid monitoring unit, that can measure several physicochemical parameters in real‐time, to monitor fluid characteristics and to enable ...

P300‐Based Memory Detection Applied to a Mock Terrorism Scenario Using the Complex Trial Protocol With Multiple Pictorial Stimuli

Applied Cognitive Psychology, Volume 40, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Complex Trial Protocol (CTP), a P300‐based Concealed Information Test (CIT), is an innovative tool that can be used to identify individuals who possess crime‐related information. We tested the CTP in a mock terrorism scenario with three different probes.

Strategies for achieving real‐world robustness in topologically engineered surfaces with special wettability

Droplet, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2026.
Engineered topologies surfaces with special wettability are promising for their ability to precisely customize wetting behaviors and incorporate versatile functionalities, setting them apart from randomly structured surfaces. However, robustness and durability have been hurdles to their broad application.
