Determination of specific heat capacity of bio-fibre earth mortars stabilised at different relative humidities using Differential Scanning Calorimetry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Understanding the relationship that earth-based mortars have with both water and temperature is imperative to optimise moisture buffering properties. Specific Heat Capacity (Cp) is a key factor to understand the benefits ... -
Virtual Design and Construction: Optimalisering av byggeprosessen gjennom krav.
(Master thesis, 2021)Hensikt med masteroppgaven er å belyse viktigheten av at byggherre kommer på banen, og stiller krav til prosjektgjennomføringen. Målet er å styre prosessen i riktig retning, og samtidig sikre at entreprenørene priser jobben ... -
Analysis of dynamic moisture movement within bio-based earth mortars
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Understanding moisture movement within building materials is critical for the understanding of how they dynamically respond to their hygrothermal environment. Utilising low embodied energy, hygrothermal materials such as ... -
A comparative study between jute and glass fiber reinforced composites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Recently, natural fiber reinforced polymer composites have become popular over traditional synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composites for automotive, low demanding structural and semi-structural applications. In this ... -
Effect of stacking sequence on the performance of hybrid natural/synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composite laminates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Here, the effect of stacking sequence on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of composites using natural fiber (jute), synthetic fiber (glass) and unsaturated polyester resin, is presented. The fabricated composite ... -
Sustainable reinforced concrete design of structural walls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sustainability calls for reduction in the use of natural resources and man-made materials. In light of this, the present study demonstrates the potentials of the reduction of transverse reinforcement in structural walls. ... -
Environmental impact of material selection in a car body component – The side door intrusion beam
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)As the impact of transport on the issue of global warming is considerable, the fleet-wide average emission target for new cars is continuously lowered. Car weight reduction is considered as one of the possible strategies ... -
The Influence of Wedge Angle, Feedstock Color, and Infill Density on the Color Difference of FDM Objects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The surface appearance in additive manufacturing (AM) has attracted attention in recent years due to its importance in evaluating the quality of 3D printed structures. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), also known as Fused ... -
On the low reinforcing efficiency of carbon nanotubes in high-performance polymer fibres
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Driven by the exceptionally high mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), over the years an extensive research effort has been devoted to the reinforcement of high-performance polymer fibres with CNTs. However, ... -
Fatigue Crack Growth Rate at Material and Geometry Transitions in Glass-Epoxy Composites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)An element test specimen with ply drops, intended to be representative of a composite structure of varying thickness such as the main laminate in a wind turbine rotor blade structure, is used to investigate the fatigue ... -
Experimental investigation of the path-independent fracture of composites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Cohesive zone modelling is the main tool to solve the problems of crack initiation and growth, and therefore several mixed-mode cohesive laws are being developed. The majority of the cohesive laws are path independent ... -
Effective Rate Evaluation with Assistance of Mixture Gamma (MG), Mixture of Gaussian (MoG), and Fox's H-Function Distributions
(Chapter, 2021)This paper investigates the effective rate when the instantaneous received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) could be modeled as the mixture Gamma (MG), mixture of Gaussian (MoG), and Fox’s H-function distributed random variable ... -
Survey of Millimeter-Wave Propagation Measurements and Models in Indoor Environments
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The millimeter-wave (mmWave) is expected to deliver a huge bandwidth to address the future demands for higher data rate transmissions. However, one of the major challenges in the mmWave band is the increase in signal loss ... -
In-Body Sensor Communication: Trends and Challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Wireless body area networks (WBANs) consist of interconnected devices that monitor the human body functions and the surrounding environment. Of these sensors, implants encounter multiple challenges due to their invasive ... -

System dynamics modelling and learning factories for manufacturing systems education
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Manufacturing systems are complex socio-technical systems with non-linearities, accumulation, flows and delays that challenge decision-making processes. System Dynamics (SD) is a valuable approach to analyse and understand ... -
Understanding Rationality in Sustainable Development Decision-Making: Unfolding the Motivations for Action
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In sustainable development (SD), the rationality behind decision-making is non-trivial because it deals with, among others, inter-temporal issues in complex systems. Choosing the rational thing to do and coping with the ... -
LCA and LCC of a chemical recycling process of waste CF-thermoset composites for the production of novel CF-thermoplastic composites. Open loop and closed loop scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The case study presented in this paper is a follow up of a topic already examined in previous studies relating the life cycle assessment (LCA) of a chemical treatment process used to recycle a specific type of carbon fiber ... -
Mixed-mode cohesive laws and the use of linear-elastic fracture mechanics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Small-scale cohesive-zone models based on potential functions are expected to be consistent with the important features of linear-elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). These include an inverse-square-root -field ahead of a ... -
