Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Background Plantar pressure distribution is a widely used biomechanical measure for characterizing foot–ground loading during gait in research and clinical assessment. Demographic variables, such as sex, age, and body weight, influence plantar loading patterns; however, findings across studies have been inconsistent, limiting direct clinical ...

Approach for Damage‐Free Disassembly of Highly Stressed CFRP Structures
Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT In today's pursuit of sustainability, the aviation industry faces challenges in reusing materials and structural components made from carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer (CFRP). Conventional downcycling methods degrade CFRP's structural integrity by cutting load‐bearing fibers and embedding them in new matrices, reducing performance.

Behavior of Long‐Slotted Perforated Steel Plate Fuses in Timber Brace End Connections
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1247-1269, May 2026.ABSTRACT Steel perforated plate fuses have emerged as a promising solution for mass timber seismic force‐resisting systems, offering tunable energy dissipation mechanisms, such as flexural and shear yielding, through geometric adjustments. This study examines the cyclic performance of perforated steel plate fuses employed in timber braced frames, with ...

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 2, May 2026.This study investigates the vertical dynamic response of a 52‐story high‐rise building in downtown Los Angeles using small‐magnitude earthquake data recorded by the Community Seismic Network. While seismic design traditionally emphasizes horizontal ground motion, vertical accelerations can have a significant impact on tall structures, leading to ...

Development and Characterization of Cellulose Films Incorporating Vitamin A and E‐Loaded Liposomes
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 14, April 10, 2026.Liposome‐cellulose films deliver UV‐light shielding, wetting, and high rigidity for green tattoo aftercare. ABSTRACT This study introduces cellulose films enriched with vitamin A/E liposomes as sustainable, bioactive dressings for tattoo aftercare. Morphological analysis showed a smoother, more continuous microtexture than the neat cellulose films ...
