Tannin-based flax fibre reinforced composites for structural applications in vehicles [PDF]

, 2012
Innovation is often driven by changes in government policies regulating the industries, especially true in case of the automotive. Except weight savings, the strict EU regulation of 95% recyclable material-made vehicles drives the manufactures and ...

Major engineering breakthrough of Well XA‐1, the deepest ten‐thousand‐meter well in a global sedimentary basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Well XA‐1, completed at a true vertical depth of 11 156 m in the Shawan Sag of the Junggar Basin, is the deepest predominantly near‐vertical well drilled in a sedimentary basin. The figure shows the basin's tectonic framework and well location (a), a structural cross‐section spanning the Shawan Sag and adjacent uplifts (b), and the stratigraphic column

World's fastest 10 000‐m breakthrough: The XY‐22 well redefines deep‐earth access in the Tarim Basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Tarim Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the world's deepest petroleum systems, exemplified by the XY‐22 ultra‐deep well (bottom depth: 11 116 m; ~220°C, ~145 MPa). This study integrates tectonic mapping, geological cross‐sections, ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy, and optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy to characterize ...

Fracture Development Mechanism of Water‐Isolating Soil Layers During Downward Mining of Shallow‐Buried Coal Seam Groups

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study systematically investigates the fracture development mechanisms of water‐isolating soil layers under the coupled effects of repeated mining and groundwater seepage during the downward mining of shallow‐buried coal seams. The findings provide a theoretical basis for evaluating stratum stability and preventing roof water inrush.

An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Flammability of Facades Across Scales and International Standards

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Facade fires are a rare but destructive hazard that can lead to the rapid spread of fire between the floors and fire compartments of a building. Today, there are at least 21 different national standards for facade fire tests in use around the world, which seek to categorize facades based on their flammability.

Fire Spread Characteristics of Cavities in Modular Constructions and Ventilated Facades

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modular buildings have gained popularity as a sustainable building solution. However, the uncertainty of fire spread through vertical cavity spaces in such buildings has become a concern. Therefore, this study aims to fill the gap in fire behaviour within vertical cavity spaces.
