Performance of the Direct Current Electric Potential Difference (DCEPD) Method for Crack Extension Measurement in Fracture Mechanics Specimens Exhibiting Split Delaminations

open access: yesFatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 2963-2980, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This work investigates the performance of the direct current electric potential difference (DCEPD) method for measuring crack extension ( ∆a) during fracture toughness tests of ductile steels exhibiting delaminations perpendicular to the main crack plane, known as splits.

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study

open access: yesJournal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 1531-1571, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.

Comparing the In‐Plane Shear Behavior of Glass Fiber‐Reinforced and Carbon Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Laminates With the Same Epoxy Matrix System in ±45° Tensile Tests

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 11051-11068, 20 June 2026.
Schematic illustration of ±45° tensile testing, including detection of first‐ply failure (FPF) by optical crack detection and acoustic emission monitoring, comparison of FPF values with ASTM D3518 and D3039 criteria, and resulting ply level stress states at FPF for GF‐ and CF‐epoxy laminates.

The Role of Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Surface Modification and Adhesion Behavior of Polypropylene/Flax Biocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 12, Page 11187-11199, 20 June 2026.
Effects of plasma surface treatment on adhesive bonding of PP/flax biocomposites. ABSTRACT The emphasis on environmental sustainability has accelerated the adoption of biocomposites as alternatives to synthetic composites. However, their low surface energy may limit adhesion in bonding applications.

Investigation of Laser Ablation and Brush Pre‐Treatments for AlCu Cold Roll Bonding in Oxygen‐Free Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 12, 17 June 2026.
It is shown that laser ablation pretreatment under oxygen‐free conditions enables copper–aluminium bonding at significantly lower deformation degrees and improved properties compared to mechanical brushing. Laser ablation further increases interface contact area and induces favourable residual stress states and microstructural compatibility ...
