Structural Applications of Smart Materials in Construction Engineering Using Robotics

First International Conference on Industrial and Information Systems, 2006
Sensors and Actuators designs have mimicked nature to a large extent. Similar to our five senses - sight, sound, smell, taste and touch - correspondingly visual/optical, acoustic/ultrasonic, electrical, chemical and thermal/magnetic sensors have been developed.

Mechanical Stimulation of Tissue Engineered Tendon Constructs: Effect of Scaffold Materials

Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 2007
Our group has shown that numerous factors can influence how tissue engineered tendon constructs respond to in vitro mechanical stimulation. Although one study showed that stimulating mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)–collagen sponge constructs significantly increased construct linear stiffness and repair biomechanics, a second study showed no such effect ...

Effect of scaffold material, construct length and mechanical stimulation on the in vitro stiffness of the engineered tendon construct

Journal of Biomechanics, 2008
Introducing mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-seeded collagen constructs into load-protected wound sites in the rabbit patellar and Achilles tendons significantly improves their repair outcome compared to natural healing of the unfilled defect. However, these constructs would not be acceptable alternatives for repairing complete tendon ruptures because they ...

Vermiculite as a construction material – A short guide for Civil Engineer

Construction and Building Materials, 2016
Abstract Vermiculite is a mica-like mineral with a shiny flakes which is one member of the phyllosilicate group. It can be expanded up to 30 times its original volume when heated at 650–950 °C. The expanded vermiculite (EV) exhibits prospective properties such as low thermal conductivity, low bulk density, endurance, chemical inertness and relatively

Forensic engineering of construction materials: lessons learnt from disputes

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Forensic Engineering, 2017
Construction materials are an essential part of the built environment, whose manufacture and supply is an important global industry. Forensic engineering of construction materials is required when disputes arise relating to perceived failures, either during construction or in service.

An Engineer's Conception of Matter and its Application to Materials of Construction

The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1932
Most engineers have a sound working knowledge of the handling of materials of different kinds, and of their properties, and make use of these wellknown properties. If, however, the engineer attempts to explain any of these properties he frequently finds that his training has not equipped him with an acceptable explanation.In recent years much work has ...
