Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...

Modeling Frequency Effects in the Seismic Low-Cycle Fatigue Performance of Structural Glazing Joints Using a Modified S–N Approach

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
In addition to static loads, structural glazing joints in glass and facade construction are increasingly exposed to dynamic and extraordinary loads such as earthquakes. Recent studies have highlighted a significant influence of the test frequency on the

Circular Economy in Crisis Contexts: An Assessment Framework for Post‐Disaster Building Stock Toward Strategic Autonomy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐disaster contexts generate large volumes of damaged building stock with significant, yet often unquantified, circularity potential. Through the lens of strategic management, the circular economy emerges as a transformative pathway to strengthen systemic resilience by reducing dependencies on external resources and mitigating supply chain ...

Transition Metal Compounds as Thermochromic Materials: Classification, Properties, Limitations, and Applications

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
This review systematically examines how different transition metal compounds—such as binary and multinary metal oxides, halides, sulfides, and salts—exhibit thermochromism based on the d‐electron configurations of their transition metal cations. It focuses on three main mechanisms of thermochromism: phase transition, charge transfer, and bandgap change.

Unlocking Effective Bite

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Structural silicone glazing (SSG) design typically neglects the adhesive contribution of silicone bonding to glass laminate interlayers, leading to conservative assumptions and increased material use. This study investigates the adhesion characteristics

Abstract of: Glass Facades Under Seismic Events and Explosions: a Novel Distributed-TMD Design Concept for Building Protection

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2018
Glazing facades generally represent one of the most critical building components, from a structural point of view, since providing a physical separation and barrier for the building occupants. In this regard, especially under the action of extreme loads,

Structure‐Driven Thermal Insulation Through Single‐ and Double‐Shell Hollow Silica Nanospheres Via a Single‐Step Sacrificial‐Interlayer Strategy

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A single‐step sacrificial‐interlayer strategy enables precise modulation of inter‐shell spacing in hollow silica nanospheres, allowing direct comparison of thermal insulation characteristics between single‐ and double‐shell architectures. The hierarchical design amplifies phonon scattering and disrupts solid heat pathways, achieving an ultralow thermal

Structural Effects of Vertical Non‐Skeletal Elements (NSEs) With Rocking Mechanisms

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces the structural effects provided by vertical non‐skeletal elements (NSEs), such as claddings and partitions, with vertical slotted holes at their supports to enable rocking as the frame undergoes significant lateral deformation.

Research on Thin Glass-Polycarbonate Composite Panels

Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2018
Glass, particularly in architectural design, expresses lightness and modernity. By rising glass surfaces of facades in buildings with high safety requirements, glass works as security glazing. Requirements of security glazing increase constantly. However,
