Abstract: The main function of a façade system is to provide comfort and protection to occupants inside the building. Glass façades are susceptible to severe damage due to their direct exposure to extreme loading conditions, such ...

Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites have been increasingly used in the construction of civil structures because of their light weight and high strength, tailored flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Such ...

Abstract: The main function of a building façade system is to provide comfort and protection to interior building spaces. In a blast event, façade components become the weakest part of a building and the blast-induced shock wave may ...

Abstract: To achieve a high thrust-to-weight ratio engine design, topology optimization design of the turbine disk structure is carried out. Considering centrifugal load and thermal load, a topology optimization algorithm program ...
