Design and Engineering Of Plastic Materials of Construction
Corrosion, 1956Proper selection of plastics as materials of construction in the chemical and allied industries can result in tremendous savings in maintenance costs. Recommended procedure is to choose the plastic most resistant to the environment and then to apply engineering design to circumvent any inherent, unfavorable properties of the specific plastic ...

Direct and indirect uses of energy and materials in engineering and construction
Applied Energy, 1975Abstract The energy content of final products is made up of two parts: the direct energy content, the energy purchased by the firm making and selling the product; and the indirect energy content, the energy used in the manufacture of suplies and in the services purchased by the company. The present paper notes from published energy statistics that in

Composites Part B: Engineering, 2018
Abstract In recent years, research articles involving molecular dynamics simulations of construction materials have grown significantly in number. The growth reflects an emerging need to understand microscopic physical and chemical processes, which are fundamental to further improve the macroscopic performance of construction materials.
