International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.ABSTRACT Quantum annealing is emerging as a practical tool for large‐scale combinatorial optimization. We map continuum displacements and element densities to binary variables, turning both deformation analysis and topology optimization into quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problems that run on today's annealers.

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 34, Issue 5, September 2026.ABSTRACT Developing spatial and physical intuition for structural behaviour is a central challenge in undergraduate engineering education, and virtual reality (VR) offers a compelling medium for addressing it through immersive, interactive exploration. However, most published research focuses on the design of VR platforms, with limited attention to how

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 97-102, September 2026.Abstract Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) truss structure with the demountable non‐weld solutions is interesting for the reuse purpose, while it is challenging since the inner surface of RHS section is inaccessible. This paper presents a series of experimental investigations on the demountable RHS truss joints using self‐drilling screws.

World's First Hybrid WAAM Steel 3D Truss – An Imperial‐MX3D Demonstrator
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 555-560, September 2026.Abstract Traditional steel construction is limited in its ability to deliver optimised structural forms and remains labour‐intensive in the fabrication of intricate components. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) offers high geometric freedom and construction automation; however, fully additively manufactured steel structures remain constrained by ...

Explicit FE Modelling of Cold‐formed Steel K‐Joints using Dimpled Screwed Connections
ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1646-1651, September 2026.Abstract Cold‐formed steel (CFS) thin‐walled structures, such as floor joists, are becoming popular in mid‐rise buildings. These joists are typically fabricated as truss systems, with unlipped channels forming the top and bottom chords and lipped stiffened channels used as diagonal web members.
