On Thermal Sensation and Entropy

, 1995
A neurophysiological thesis is proposed for thermal sensitivity that accounts for the disorder in physical processes that is fundamental to temperature. There is likely some form of thermal equilibrium rapidly established between thermoreceptors and the external environment local to those thermoreceptors that accounts for gauging the temperature ...

Thermal sensations of secondary schoolchildren in summer [PDF]

Journal of Hygiene, 1973
SUMMARYSummer thermal sensations of secondary schoolchildren in England are compared with those earlier published for winter. Heat stress, contrary to expectation, is seen to decrease during the warm months, and neutrality is found to increase by some 6° F.

Laser Metal Deposited Ti4822 Hollow Pipe: Experimental and Computational Modelling Study

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Laser metal deposition (LMD) of a crack‐free built Ti4822 alloys is challenging. This article reports outstanding characteristics of a hollow pipe that is built with LMD technology when a predicted, nontransformation substrate temperature of 800 °C is used.

Exploring Microstructure–Physical Property–Corrosion Response Relationship in Intermetallic Compounds of Al‐Cu Bimetallic Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Al‐Cu intermetallic compounds (IMCs) have a significant influence on the properties of Al‐Cu bimetallic interfaces formed in compound casting. This article provides a deeper understanding of microstructure, crystallography, thermal properties, hardness, and corrosion response of Al‐Cu IMCs with the goal of facilitating the optimization of the ...

Numerical Model and Experimental Validation of Composite Metal Foam in Protecting Carbon Steel Against Puncture

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The puncture prevention and energy absorption performance of composite metal foam (CMF) are studied experimentally and numerically for hazardous materials transportation protection. The numerical model implementing air within the CMF (nonhomogeneous model using fluid cavity technique) predicts puncture more accurately compared to the homogeneous CMF ...

Production of Metallic Foam Precursors Using Current‐Activated Pressure‐Assisted Densification

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A powder compaction metallurgical method, known as current‐activated pressure‐assisted densification, is applied to enhance the compaction of metal foam precursors. This method improves precursor quality by achieving higher density, lower electrical resistivity, and more uniform pore nucleation in the resulting foams, reducing energy consumption and ...
