Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on glued-in rebar glubam (glued laminated bamboo) joints. The main experimental parameters were anchorage length, glue-line thickness, and the angle between bar and bamboo fibers. ...

Abstract: Photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) systems integrate photovoltaic and solar thermal technologies into one single system with dual production of electricity and heat energy. A typical arrangement is the ...

Abstract: A design problem usually involves multiple perspectives, each with own set of constraints that may interact. The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology to assist in negotiation ...

Abstract: It is found experimentally that blowing at the lip separation of an inlet obviously reduces the turbulence at the inlet exit, and apparently reduces the intensity of pressure fluctuations caused ...

Abstract: Glubam (glued-laminated bamboo) is a newly developed structural material with properties comparable to other wood and wood-based materials. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar is an attractive reinforcement due to its ...

Abstract: An intelligent system has been used for injection molding. Five molded part defects, two mold parameters and the part weight are used as system inputs which are described by fuzzy terms. ...
