Abstract: The main barriers affecting the performance of phase change materials (PCM) wallboard system during energy recovery mode are identified as inadequate heat transfer and overall reduction in thermal ...

Abstract: A higher-order zig-zag theory has been developed for laminated composite plates with multiple delaminations. By imposing top and bottom surface transverse shear stress-free conditions and interface ...

Abstract: The normal coordinates of a nonclassically damped system are coupled by nonzero off-diagonal elements of the modal damping matrix. The purpose of this paper is to study the characteristics of ...

Abstract: Densification behavior of composite powders was investigated under cold compaction. Experimental data were obtained for mixed copper and tungsten powders with various volume fractions of tungsten ...
