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

Micro‐Texturized and Ultra‐Soft Dry Electrode for Motion‐Artifact Tolerant and Long‐Term Stable Wearable Electrophysiological Monitoring

Small, EarlyView.
A highly conformal and adhesive dry electrode is developed using a micro‐textured carbon black/PDMS composite. By leveraging spontaneous surface roughness for enhanced mechanical interlocking and integrating a stretchable serpentine interconnector, the device achieves robust skin contact and low impedance.

An evaluation of the hygrothermal performance of 'standard' and 'as built' construction details using steadystate and transient modelling [PDF]

, 2005
Accurate assessment of both surface and interstitial condensation risk at the design stage of buildings is of great importance - not just to minimise the damaging effects moisture can cause to building envelopes, but also to contribute to the provision ...

Evaluation of Moisture Ageing Status of Cross‐Linked Polyethylene Insulation in Power Cables at Different Temperatures

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 ...

Combustion Performance of Silicone Rubber Polymer Insulation Material Under Damp‐Heat Ageing Conditions: Molecular Insights Into the Effects of Structural Changes on Macroscopic Properties

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

Mould Growth Models and Risk Assessment for Emerging Timber Envelopes in Australia: A Comparative Study

Buildings, 2021
Timber envelopes provide multiple benefits in reducing both operational and embodied energy environmental impacts in construction. However, when poorly designed, they may incur in high risk of mould growth, affecting both building performance and ...

Multiyear hygrothermal performance simulation of historic building envelopes

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
The objective of this work is to quantify the effects of the short-term climate change with a multiyear (MY) approach on the results of the heat and moisture transfer simulations of an historic building located in Udine (Italy) and to evaluate if a single year simulation could be representative of the results obtained with the MY.

Gall responses to drying habitats: Insights from the community of galling herbivores associated with the superhost Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (Caryocaraceae)

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Drying processes in the Brazilian palm swamps or Veredas, impact the gall community in adjacent vegetation by reducing the abundance of more sensitive galls, while more resilient galls acclimate to increased dryness by developing thicker protective tissues. Abstract Galls are new plant organs formed in response to the stimuli of gall‐inducing organisms,
