Towards a thermo-mechanical characterization approach of buildings’ envelope

Energy Reports, 2020
This paper investigates the numerical and experimental thermo-mechanical characterization of buildings’ structure for energy efficiency. A finite element model (FEM) of a small-scaled building is carried out using mesh refining tools at thermal bridges ...

A power-based perspective of mechanical systems [PDF]

, 2005
This paper is concerned with the construction of a power-based modeling framework for a large class of mechanical systems. Mathematically this is formalized by proving that every standard mechanical system (with or without dissipation) can be written as ...
