Extended Kelvin–Voigt Model for Simulating Thermally Accelerated Creep in Fine‐Grained Soils

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 1843-1854, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The subsurface undergoes temperature variations in many situations due to anthropogenic and natural causes, which strongly influence the long‐term behavior of soils. These phenomena can involve temperature anomalies in the ground across distances of a few meters, as in the case of nuclear waste repositories, to distances encompassing entire ...

The orientation of elliptical galaxies

, 2010
We determine the orientations of the light distribution of individual elliptical galaxies by combining the profiles of photometric data from the literature with triaxial models. The orientation is given by a Bayesian probability distribution.

The Effect of Graphene on the Fatigue Response and Failure Mechanism of Composite Materials: A Review

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 933-962, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This review investigates the influence of graphene on the fatigue performance of polymer‐based composites, focusing on both unreinforced matrices and fiber‐reinforced composite laminates. Graphene materials, including nanoplatelets, graphene oxide, and hybrid nanostructures, offer exceptional mechanical, electrical, and barrier properties that

Electrospun Composite Lavandula Angustifolia Mill. Extract/PVP Nanofibers

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study presents novel fast‐dissolving nanofibers electrospun from polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) loaded with crude lavender extract. The fibers form an amorphous solid dispersion, disintegrate within 1.5 s, and release 70%–90% of their payload within 5 min, significantly outperforming the pure extract.

Memory of Stress History in Single and Two Surface Plasticity for Granular Soils

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 597-612, 10 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent studies have identified limitations in Manzari and Dafalias' 1997 and 2004 sand plasticity models, particularly regarding one‐way unloading/reloading and ratcheting loading modes. These models are widely accepted as bounding surface models in the geotechnical engineering community; thus, concerns have arisen about a fundamental lack of ...

Theoretical solution for the relationship between strength parameters of direct shear test and triaxial test

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
This paper analyzes the variation law of the Mohr's stress circle for normally consolidated soils in direct shear tests and triaxial compression tests. By comparing and analyzing the stress paths during the shearing process of the two tests, it is found ...

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 ...

A family of triaxial modified Hubble mass models: effects of the additional radial functions

, 2004
The projected properties of triaxial generalization of the modified Hubble mass models are studied. These models are constructed by adding the additional radial functions, each multiplied by a low-order spherical harmonic, to the models of \citet{ct00 ...
