Modeling Biocemented Sands: Hypoplastic Model for MICP‐Based Ground Improvement

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4893-4912, 25 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bio‐cementation offers a sustainable and low‐carbon alternative to conventional ground improvement methods, aligning with the growing demand for green geotechnical solutions. To enable reliable numerical simulation of bio‐cemented soil behavior in engineering applications, advanced constitutive models are required to account for the effects of

Variable Selection for Fixed and Random Effects in Multilevel Functional Mixed Effects Models

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 18-19, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We develop a new method for simultaneously selecting fixed and random effects in a multilevel functional regression model. The proposed method is motivated by accelerometer‐derived physical activity data from the 2011 to 2012 cohort of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), with the aim of identifying age and race ...

An Open‐Source Markov Chain Monte Carlo Inversion Software for the Analysis of Experimental Rock Deformation Data

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Despite its importance in modeling the interior dynamics of a planet, our understanding of interior rheology remains incomplete because of several reasons, including insufficient experimental data and inadequate analysis of the available data.

Uncovering hidden bias in neutron diffraction residual strain measurements

Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 991-1004, August 2026.
This work demonstrates that diffraction‐based residual strain calculations and uncertainty estimates depend on how grain populations are sub‐sampled, with important implications for interpreting residual stresses in heterogeneous materials with fine‐scale microstructure and strain gradients.When calculating residual strain via neutron or X‐ray ...

A Novel Framework for Understanding Multiaxial Fatigue of SBR Through Monitored Tension‐Torsion Tests

Strain, Volume 62, Issue 4, August 2026.
A new methodology shows that current multiaxiall fatigue criteria are not sufficient. ABSTRACT In the present work, mappings of two invariants of the true strain tensor, K2$$ {K}_2 $$ that measures the magnitude of the distortion and K3$$ {K}_3 $$ that quantifies the mode of distortion, are used to investigate the multiaxial fatigue of AE2 and AE42 ...

Progressive damage and fracture behavior of brittle rock under multi-axial prestress constraint and cyclic impact load coupling

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
To explore the progressive damage and fracture mechanics characteristics of brittle rock materials under combined dynamic-static loading. Taking account of the coupling effect of the constraint states of uniaxial stress (σ 1 ≥ σ 2 = σ 3 = 0), biaxial ...

Fractal Characteristics and Energy Evolution Analysis of Rocks under True Triaxial Unloading Conditions

Fractal and Fractional
To investigate the mechanical properties and energy evolution laws of rocks under true triaxial unloading conditions, a study was conducted using a true triaxial rock testing system on three different types of rocks: coal, sandy mudstone, and siltstone ...

Haemodynamic responses to small muscle mass exercise before and after lung transplantation in end‐stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Experimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 8, Page 3604-3619, 1 August 2026.
Abstract Cardiovascular control during exercise is impaired in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The central cardiopulmonary pathologies in COPD might drive the local muscle vascular abnormalities. We hypothesised that contracting muscle perfusion and O2 utilisation improve after lung transplantation (LTx) in COPD.

Vision Transformers for Modeling of Nonlinear Heterogeneous Materials

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 14, 30 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiscale simulations of nonlinear heterogeneous materials and composites are challenging due to the prohibitive computational costs of high‐fidelity simulations. Recently, machine learning (ML) based approaches have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional multiscale methods.

Analysis of the Charge Structure and Lightning Activity During a Severe Beijing Thunderstorm via an Innovative Balloon‐Borne 3D Electric Field Observation System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract We developed an innovative balloon‐borne observation system based on China's BeiDou sounding platform that integrates a three‐axis electric field sensor for in‐cloud measurements of thunderstorm electrification. On 13 May 2025, this system was deployed during a severe convective storm over Beijing. In combination with multisource observations,
