Hygrothermal Performance of Sandwich-Panel-Renovated External Walls
, 2021 The facades of many hall-type buildings, built in the 1970s or 1980s, are at the end of their service life. Facades must be renovated so that the value of the building will not reduce or the usability suffers. When repairing, it is reasonable to estimate the energy efficiency of the building, which can be improved by increasing the thermal insulation ...

Hygrothermal damage mechanisms in graphite-epoxy composites [PDF]
T300/5209 and T300/5208 graphite epoxy laminates were studied experimentally and analytically in order to: (1) determine the coupling between applied stress, internal residual stress, and moisture sorption kinetics; (2) examine the microscopic damage ...

Mechanics of damping for fiber composite laminates including hygro-thermal effects [PDF]
An integrated mechanics theory was developed for the modeling of composite damping from the micromechanics to the laminate level. Simplified, design oriented equations based on hysteretic damping are presented for on-axis plies, off-axis plies, and ...

Designing with figer-reinforced plastics (planar random composites) [PDF]
The use of composite mechanics to predict the hygrothermomechanical behavior of planar random composites (PRC) is reviewed and described. These composites are usually made from chopped fiber reinforced resins (thermoplastics or thermosets).
