@article{65037, abstract = {{ABSTRACT Homogenization methods simulate heterogeneous materials like composites effectively, but high computational demands can offset their benefits. This work balances accuracy and efficiency by assessing model and discretization errors of the finite element method (FEM) through an adaptive numerical scheme. Two model hierarchies are introduced, combining mean‐field and full‐field methods, and nonuniform transformation field analysis (NTFA) with full‐field methods. Both hierarchies use a full‐field FEM solution of the representative volume element (RVE) as reference. The study highlights the benefits of using effective constitutive equations from mean‐field and full‐field methods as well as NTFA methods, with a goal‐oriented a posteriori error estimator based on duality techniques controlling mesh and model errors in a forwards‐in‐time manner.}}, author = {{Simeu, Arnold Tchomgue and Caylak, Ismail and Ostwald, Richard}}, issn = {{0029-5981}}, journal = {{International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}}, number = {{6}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Mesh and Model Adaptivity for Multiscale Elastoplastic Models With Prandtl‐Reuss Type Material Laws}}}, doi = {{10.1002/nme.70294}}, volume = {{127}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inbook{62709, author = {{Reijers, Wessel and Alpsancar, Suzana}}, booktitle = {{Social explainable AI.

To achieve their maximum mechanical properties, the fiber-matrix adhesion (FMA) is critical. In this work, continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminates (CFRTPL) with a polypropylene (PP) matrix and twill woven glass fiber fabrics are produced by film stacking. The films used contain different amounts of maleic-anhydride-grafted PP (MA-g-PP) as a coupling agent to produce CFRTPL of different mechanical strengths. To analyze the FMA, the CFRTPL are subjected to Charpy-impact and tensile tests. Additionally, single fiber pull-out tests (SFPT) are conducted to further investigate the effect of MA-g-PP on the FMA. The results of the SFPT show an improvement in apparent interfacial shear strength (AIFSS) when the MA-g-PP content is increased, which can be attributed to an increase in FMA. However, the research shows that MA-g-PP has a low impact on the mechanical properties if the force is applied parallel to the warp and weft threads during tensile testing and the results of the Charpy-impact testing suffer from embrittlement of the matrix material. Subsequently, the results of this study are compared to three-point flexural tests conducted in a previous study. It can be concluded that tensile and impact tests are not suited to investigate FMA on a macroscopic scale, while SFPT and flexural tests provide a better alternative.}}, author = {{Moritzer, Elmar and Brandes, Philipp and Wittler, Maurice and Claes, Leander and Wippermann, Mareen and Haag, Markus and Gries, Thomas and Henning, Bernd}}, issn = {{0930-777X}}, journal = {{International Polymer Processing}}, publisher = {{Walter de Gruyter GmbH}}, title = {{{Fiber-matrix adhesion in glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite laminates and its effect on mechanical properties}}}, doi = {{10.1515/ipp-2025-0077}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{65134, author = {{Fuchs, Christian}}, journal = {{Philosophy & Social Criticism}}, title = {{{Digital Fascism and Digital Capitalism}}}, doi = {{10.1177/01914537261434922}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{65266, abstract = {{ABSTRACT This work is concerned with the modeling of a cold‐box sand, a composition of sand grains and a resin binder. To this end, experiments are performed, which show the following characteristics: localization phenomena in the form of a shear band, softening behavior in the force‐displacement curve, and asymmetric behavior for compression and tension. To model this complex material behavior, a micromorphic continuum is used. In the present contribution, we focus on the linear‐elastic regime and demonstrate the identifiability of micromorphic material parameters under deliberately induced inhomogeneous deformation states. In addition to the degrees of freedom of a classical continuum, the micromorphic model has additional degrees of freedom, introduced here in a phenomenological sense to represent kinematically enriched deformation modes associated with the granular microstructure. Accordingly, the micromorphic fields are not interpreted as a separate physical scale (e.g., “binder” vs. “grains”), but as an effective continuum description at the specimen scale. This contribution addresses parameter identification for a micromorphic model of cold‐box sand, with a clear separation between homogeneous deformation states governing classical elastic parameters and inhomogeneous states required to activate and identify micromorphic length‐scale parameters. The main challenge lies in identifying the micro material parameters. To determine these, the corresponding gradient terms in the constitutive formulation must be triggered via properly tuned experiments. Micro‐parameter identification is demonstrated using synthetic data generated from a boundary‐value problem with inhomogeneous displacement fields. The chosen benchmark enables controlled activation of gradient terms and thereby renders optimization‐based identification of micromorphic parameters feasible. The synthetic example is deliberately chosen to assess feasibility and identifiability under controlled conditions, thereby isolating micromorphic identifiability aspects from experimental uncertainties. The novelty of the contribution lies in explicitly linking micromorphic parameter identifiability to kinematic inhomogeneity, and in demonstrating this link within a tractable forward– inverse setting for a linear‐elastic micromorphic continuum.}}, author = {{Börger, Alexander and Mahnken, Rolf and Caylak, Ismail and Ostwald, Richard}}, issn = {{1617-7061}}, journal = {{Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics}}, number = {{2}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Aspects of Parameter Identification for a Micromorphic Continuum applied to a Cold‐Box Sand}}}, doi = {{10.1002/pamm.70093}}, volume = {{26}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{65085, author = {{Altun, Osman and Ott, Manuel and Meihöfener, Niclas and Budde, Finn and Mozgova, Iryna}}, issn = {{1877-0509}}, journal = {{Procedia Computer Science}}, pages = {{344--353}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Leveraging Large Language Models in Engineering Design and Product Development: A Snapshot}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.procs.2026.02.040}}, volume = {{276}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inbook{65168, author = {{Keuchen, Marion and Lindemeyer, Sabine}}, booktitle = {{Seelsorge im Lebensraum Schule.
