SEM confirms extensive fiber exposure and porous carbonaceous residues, while Raman verifies successful polymer-to-carbon conversion. These findings suggest that epoxy-derived CFRP/SiC systems are more suitable for non-load-bearing thermal protection system (TPS) applications, such as insulating or ablative layers, than structural components.]]> https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmech.2026.1713674 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmech.2026.1713674 <![CDATA[An enhanced subset simulation algorithm integrating importance sampling for structural reliability analysis]]> 2026-04-02T00:00:00Z Original Research Chunlong Xu https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmech.2025.1681872 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmech.2025.1681872 <![CDATA[Experimental study on the road performance of reduced density fly ash–clayey sand subgrade mixtures from the Yellow River floodplain]]> 2026-04-02T00:00:00Z Original Research Xiuru JiaQiaoling JiYu ChengMeixue Wang https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmech.2026.1800659 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmech.2026.1800659 <![CDATA[Finite-element guided drilled-hole placement and fillet geometry effects on the structural and dynamic performance of spur gears]]> 2026-03-31T00:00:00Z Original Research Ali Malik SaadoonNassear R.
