The Impact of Soil Anisotropy on Surface Settlements Induced by Tunnelling: A Revealing Parametric Study and Nomogram Development to Improve Modelling Practice

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 1218-1228, 10 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural soils often exhibit clearly anisotropic mechanical properties, yet this characteristic is frequently overlooked in numerical models due to the practical challenges of determining anisotropic parameters. As a result, the influence of anisotropy remains difficult to anticipate, and engineers have limited tools to incorporate it into ...

Bayesian Neural Network Prediction and Uncertainty Analysis of Bio‐Cemented Soil Strength

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 1349-1366, 25 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has emerged as a promising ground improvement technique, with MICP‐treated soils exhibiting substantial enhancements in strength. However, experimental results revealed significant variability in strength outcomes of MICP‐treated soils, even under identical treatment conditions and soil ...

Failure Criterion‐Based Bead Optimization of a Wind Turbine Blade Root Section

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a bead‐based optimization framework for fiber composite wind turbine blades, employing the Tsai–Wu failure criterion as the structural performance measure. The objective is to design an optimal transition geometry between an existing blade and a root section with 20% smaller diameter, while preserving the original material ...

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

Journal 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

International 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.

Experimental and numerical study on dynamic mechanical behaviors of shale under true triaxial compression at high strain rate

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology
High-energy gas fracturing of shale is a novel, high efficacy and eco-friendly mining technique, which is a typical dynamic perturbing behavior. To effectively extract shale gas, it is important to understand the dynamic mechanical properties of shale ...

Quasistatic rheology and the origins of strain

, 2009
Features of rheological laws applied to solid-like granular materials are recalled and confronted to microscopic approaches via discrete numerical simulations. We give examples of model systems with very similar equilibrium stress transport properties --

Stress transfer law in laboratory hydraulic fracturing experiments

Scientific Reports
During the true triaxial hydraulic fracturing experiments, the compression stress applied to the specimen surface cannot be transferred to the interior immediately, resulting in inconsistency with in-situ stress conditions.
