Hygrothermal climate analysis: An Australian dataset
Transient hygrothermal assessments rely on the definition of external climatic conditions, usually collected in a moisture reference year (MRY) file. Currently, hygrothermal climate files for Australia are not available, leaving researchers and practitioners to either use typical meteorological years (TMY) files, generated for thermal analysis, or ...

Hygrothermal Deformation of Composite Sandwich Panels [PDF]
Coefficients of thermal and moisture expansion (CTE and CME) can be predicted for many composite laminates and sandwich panels. Core and adhesive properties, such as geometry and stiffness are important variables. Laminate theory is augmented with a modified model for anisotropic core properties to predict the CTE and CME of sandwich panels. Procedures

Hygrothermal properties of compressed earthen bricks [PDF]
Abstract The present study investigates the relationship between bulk density and hygrothermal behaviour of compressed earthen bricks. The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity linearly increases from 0.5228 W/(m K) to 0.9308 W/(m K) as the bulk density increases, and that the equilibrium moisture content increases with increasing ...
