Fabrication Routes for Ionic Conducting Fiber Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic conducting fiber strain sensors (ICFSs) offer compliant, textile‐integrable sensing. Thus far, the commercialization of ICFSs has been constrained by fiber fabrication routes. This review provides a fabrication‐centric analysis of ICFSs correlating processing strategies with material properties and scalability.

Long-Term Deflection Monitoring for Bridges Using X and C-Band Time-Series SAR Interferometry

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
This study aims to monitor the deformation of bridges, namely in the form of long-term deflection and thermal dilation, using multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) observations.

High‐Entropy Alloy Interlayers Toward Advanced Joining for High‐Performance Structural Applications: Current Progress and Emerging Challenges

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
HEA interlayers offer a versatile route for joining high‐performance structural materials. Their compositional and structural design regulates interfacial reactions, suppresses brittle IMCs, and improves metallurgical bonding. Sandwich interlayers further integrate defect healing with precipitation strengthening, enabling improved strength–ductility ...

Modelling Of The Thermal Behavior Of Walls And Floors In Contact With The Ground [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
One of the most complex configuration to model in detail, both in the dynamic simulation of buildings and in the analytical quasi steady-state calculations, is the thermal dispersion through the walls and the floor in contact with the ground. The problem

Internal Wall Cooling by Reversed Airflow in Ventilation Ducts After Building Retrofit: A Case Study of a Higher Education Facility

open access: yesEnergies
This study investigated an unusual yet practically significant side effect of the thermal retrofit of educational buildings, namely the intensive cooling of internal walls containing uninsulated ventilation ducts.

Thermal Load in Large-Scale Bridges: A State-of-the-Art Review

open access: yesInternational Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2013
Thermal load is an important factor that must be taken into account during the procedure of bridge design and structural condition evaluation especially for those statically indeterminate bridges and cable-supported bridges.

The Effectiveness of Thermal Insulation in Lightweight Steel-Framed Walls with Respect to Its Position

open access: yesBuildings, 2017
Lightweight steel-framed (LSF) construction, given its advantages, has the potential to reach high standards in energy and environmental performance of buildings, such as nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB).

The behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under cyclic temperature profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
On a hot summer day, high levels of solar radiation are incident on concrete bridge decks, causing non-linear variations in temperature through the depths of the structures. The changes in temperature lead to axial expansion and curvature of decks.
