The Influence of Elevated Temperature on Time‐Dependent Compaction Creep in Bleursville Sandstone

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The inelastic compaction of sandstone in the upper crust typically occurs at depths where temperatures range from approximately 50°C $50{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ to 150°C $150{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$. Previous experimental studies have shown that even this modest temperature increase can reduce the yield stress required to initiate inelastic ...

Microlayer Model: A Nonlinear Finite Strain Viscoelastoplastic Formulation for Asphalt

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
ABSTRACT The microlayer framework is an innovative and powerful approach for the numerical simulation of heterogeneous materials, such as aggregate‐matrix composites across multiple scales. In this study, the microlayer framework is extended for the first time to account for viscoelastic‐elastoplastic material behavior.

Testing 3D Printed Carbon Fiber Durability for Next‐Gen Fusion Reactors via Proton Irradiation

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 924-941, 10 January 2026.
Schematic of proton irradiation effects on carbon fiber samples evaluated via nanoindentation and Raman spectroscopy. ABSTRACT Carbon fiber‐reinforced composites are promising candidates for plasma‐facing components (PFCs) in next‐generation fusion reactors due to their high strength‐to‐weight ratio, thermal stability, and radiation resistance. However,

Mechanical Characterization of Unsaturated Loess and Numerical Simulation of Slope Stability Under Freeze–Thaw Cycles

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering
The soils in the eastern region of Qinghai, China, are characterized by typical unsaturated loess with poor engineering properties, rendering them susceptible to geological disasters such as landslides.

Development of experimental concepts for investigating the strength behavior of fine-grained cohesive soil in the Spacelab/space shuttle zero-g environment [PDF]

open access: yes
Three different sets of tests are proposed for the NASA Spacelab experimental program. The first of tests, designed to measure the true cohesion of several different soils, would be carried out in space through use of a specially prepared direct shear ...
