The durability of consumer durables [PDF]

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, 1994
AbstractThe life span of a product is a key component in assessing its environmental impact. Until very recently, however, product durability was far from prominent in the environmental debate. This has begun to change due to mounting concern about waste, the prospect of producer ‘take back’ schemes and the importance of quality in highly competitive ...

Uniformly Dispersed and Re-Agglomerated Graphene Oxide-Based Cement Pastes: A Comparison of Rheological Properties, Mechanical Properties and Microstructure

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2018
The properties of graphene oxide (GO)-based cement paste can be significantly affected by the state of GO dispersion. In this study, the effects of uniformly dispersed and re-agglomerated GO on the rheological, mechanical properties and microstructure of

Seismic Performance of LRS-FRP–Concrete–Steel Tubular Double Coupling Beam

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
To improve the ductility and seismic performance of a double coupling beam, the authors applied a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet and steel tube to form fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–concrete–steel double-skin tubular (DST) composite coupling ...

Theoretical backgrounds of durability analysis by normalized equivalent stress functionals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Generalized durability diagrams and their properties are considered for a material under a multiaxial loading given by an arbitrary function of time. Material strength and durability under such loading are described in terms of durability, safety factor ...

Output-Only Damage Detection of Shear Building Structures Using an Autoregressive Model-Enhanced Optimal Subpattern Assignment Metric

open access: yesSensors, 2020
This paper proposes a novel output-only structural damage indicator by incorporating the pole-based optimal subpattern assignment distance with autoregressive models to localize and relatively assess the severity of damages for sheared structures ...

Investigating the pharmacodynamic durability of GalNAc–siRNA conjugates

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2020
One hallmark of trivalent N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-conjugated siRNAs is the remarkable durability of silencing that can persist for months in preclinical species and humans.
