Separate and combined impacts of building and tree on urban thermal environment from two- and three-dimensional perspectives

, 2021
Separate impacts of building and tree on the urban thermal environment have been studied extensively, but their combined impacts, especially from both the horizontal (i.e., two-dimensional (2D)) and vertical (i.e., three-dimensional (3D)) perspectives ...

Scaled outdoor experimental studies of urban thermal environment in street canyon models with various aspect ratios and thermal storage.

Science of the Total Environment, 2020
Street aspect ratios and urban thermal storage largely determine the thermal environment in cities. By performing scaled outdoor measurements in summer of 2017 in Guangzhou, China, we investigate these impacts on spatial/temporal characteristics of urban

Dynamics of two-dimensional functionally graded tapered Timoshenko nanobeam in thermal environment using nonlocal strain gradient theory

, 2020
In this contribution, we study the free vibration of non-uniform nano-size beams in thermal environment. In order to capture the size-dependent effects, we adopt nonlocal strain gradient theory within a Timoshenko beam model.
