Monodisperse hollow silica nanospheres (HSNSs) with an outer diameter of ∼300 nm and shell thickness of ∼50 nm were prepared via a spontaneous dissolution–regrowth process of solid silica nanospheres (SSNSs) in NaBH4 aqueous ...

This master thesis examines the possibility of implementing a thermal control for heavy vehicles on the north side of the new undersea tunnel of Rogfast. The safety aspect is the reason for implementing, and it will be the ...

The current limitations of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) are the state of knowledge on materials and the effects of production parameters. As more engineering-grade polymers become available for fused filament ...

The resilient building design has become necessary within the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme disruptive events associated with climate change. Since thermal comfort is one of the main requirements of occupants, ...

The starting point of this work is a conceptual model for frost heave based on nonequilibrium thermodynamics. According to the theory, the temperature gradient in the soil under frozen condition is the main driving force ...

The linear viscoelastic (LVE) properties of asphalt concrete is investigated in this paper using a controlled-strain triaxial dynamic modulus test over wide frequency, temperature, and confining pressure ranges. The ...

We present thermodynamic properties of the H2 dissociation reaction by means of the Small System Method (SSM) using Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) simulations. Thermodynamic correction factors, partial molar enthalpies and ...

First-year ice ridge interaction with structures often gives highest loads and can be modelled in controlled environment in ice basins. Five laboratory experiments were performed to study model-scale first-year ice ridge ...
