Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 51, December 23, 2025.Nanoscale chitin fiber orientations in the insect wing play a critical role in adapting to complex mechanical demands. These findings reveal two distinct and functionally adaptive chitin orientation patterns in the membranes that vary regionally, optimizing mechanical resilience and deformation control.

The optimal XFEM approximation for fracture analysis [PDF]
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2010 The extended finite element method (XFEM) provides an effective tool for analyzing fracture mechanics problems. A XFEM approximation consists of standard finite elements which are used in the major part of the domain and enriched elements in the enriched sub-domain for capturing special solution properties such as discontinuities and singularities ...

Image‐Based Flaw Identification Using Convolutional Neural Network
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 694-706, December 2025.ABSTRACT Flaw detection in structures is crucial for ensuring structural integrity and safety across various engineering applications. Traditional nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques often face challenges in accurately identifying and characterizing flaws, particularly when dealing with complex geometries and strain fields.

Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 65, Issue 12, Page 6750-6761, December 2025.We present the Moving Least‐Squares Aided Finite Element Method (MLS‐FEM) as a robust approach to evaluate flow fields in polymer mixers. Using a fixed background mesh that is independent of rotor shape and motion, MLS‐FEM captures distributive and dispersive mixing without the need for mesh regeneration.
