Hygrothermal performance of ventilated wooden cladding

open access: yes, 2010
This PhD project contributes to more accurate design guidelines for high-performance building envelopes by analysis of hygrothermal performance of ventilated wooden cladding. Hygrothermal performance is defined by cladding temperature and moisture conditions, and subsequently by risk of degradation. Wood cladding is the most common façade material used

Hygrothermal effects on mechanical behavior of graphite/epoxy laminates beyond initial failure [PDF]

open access: yes
An investigation was conducted to determine the critical load levels and associated cracking beyond which a multidirectional laminate can be considered as structurally failed. Graphite/epoxy laminates were loaded to different strain levels up to ultimate

Analysis of different frost indexes and their potential to assess frost based on HAM simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
To reach the climate goals of 2020 our buildings have to become a lot more energy-efficient. This challenge rests mainly on the shoulders of the renovation sector because new buildings are only a small part of our building stock.
