A Four-Parameter Change-Point Model for Predicting Energy Consumption in Commercial Buildings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper develops a four-parameter change-point model of energy consumption as a function of dry-bulb temperature, along with accompanying error diagnostics for the model’s parameters. The model ...
Effect of Coated Rutile TiO2 and Disazopyrazolone Dye Additives on Unvulcanized Styrene Butadiene Rubber During Photo-Ageing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of coated rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) and a disazopyrazolone dye (azo dye) on the mechanism and the kinetic of photo-oxidation of unvulcanized styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) ...
Atomistic-Continuum Modeling of the Mechanical Properties of Silica/Epoxy Nanocomposite
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a hierarchical multiscale homogenization procedure aimed at predicting the effective mechanical properties of silica/epoxy nanocomposites is presented. First, the mechanical properties ...
Dynamic Mechanical Properties of PMMA/Organoclay Nanocomposite: Experiments and Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Similarly to unfilled polymers, the dynamic mechanical properties of polymer/organoclay nanocomposites are sensitive to frequency and temperature, as well as to clay concentration. Richeton et al. ...
Qualitative Equivalence Between Electrical Percolation Threshold and Effective Thermal Conductivity in Polymer/Carbon Nanocomposites
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this study, a qualitative equivalence between the electrical percolation threshold and the effective thermal conductivity of composites filled with cylindrical nanofillers has been recognized. ...
