Multi-objective optimisation of bio-based thermal insulation materials in building envelopes considering condensation risk [PDF]
, 2018 The reduction in energy demand for heating and cooling with insulation materials increases the material related environmental impact. Thus, implementing low embodied energy materials may equilibrate this trade-off.

Hygrothermal ageing of reprocessed polylactide [PDF]
Polymer Degradation and Stability, 2012 The influence of an accelerated hygrothermal ageing simulation test on a commercial PLA and its three subsequent mechanically-reprocessed materials was studied. The analysis was focused on the water diffusion kinetics and the physico-chemical changes induced by the hygrothermal degradation.

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cross‐linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables play an important role in power systems to transport electrical energy, and moisture is one of the important predisposing factors for insulation failure in medium and high‐voltage cables. In this paper, a temperature‐moisture accelerated ageing experiment is designed, and a method for assessing the ...

Probabilistic assessment of the impact of material properties on the risk of frost damage in masonry constructions [PDF]
, 2019 Historically valuable buildings often contain a huge energy saving potential due to their current lacking thermal performance of the building envelope. Next to this, unfortunately insulation measures, which normally occur at the inside, induce a decrease

On cyclical hygrothermal fields in laminated plates [PDF]
Journal of Composite Materials, 2012 This article focuses on the calculation of transient and cyclical hygrothermal fields in laminated composite plates. Water diffusion is simulated by employing Fick’s law, while thermal fields are assumed to be uniform: temperature and water concentration are coupled through the coefficient of hygroscopic diffusivity, which follows a classical ...

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Silicone rubber (SR), an organic silicon polymer material, is known for its excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties. It is widely used in composite insulators and cable accessory materials. However, the ageing caused by humidity and heat significantly impacts its performance, an issue that cannot be ignored. This paper investigates

Predicting the hygrothermal behaviour of building components using neural networks [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2019 Increasing the energy efficiency of the existing building stock can be accomplished by adding thermal insulation to the building envelope. In case of historic buildings with massive walls, internal insulation is often the only feasible post-insulation ...
