Hygrothermal Properties and Performance of Sea Grass Insulation
, 2008 In the attempt to obtain knowledge of the hygrothermal properties of sea grass as thermal insulation, experiments have been carried out in the laboratory to determine the thermal conductivity, sorption properties and the water vapour permeability of the material.

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 ...

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

Anisotropic hygrothermal properties of 3D printed concrete
UCL Open Environment3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) is a method for constructing concrete components in layers. There is a knowledge gap regarding hygrothermal anisotropies introduced during the printing process. Standard experimental procedures were applied to quantify the hygrothermal properties of a 3DCP slab that was printed and cut into samples for testing.
