Performance of a novel structural insulated panel in tropical climates: Experimental and numerical studies
(Elsevier BV, 2024-03)This article investigates experimentally and numerically the thermal performance of a new type of structural insulated panel (SIP) termed ‘UWall’. The panel core consists of an ad-hoc waffle skeleton of Expanded Polystyrene ... -
Increasing the Service Life of Marine Transport Using Heat-Resistant Polymer Nanocomposites
(MDPI AGSwitzerland, 2024)<jats:p>This paper presents the technological aspects of increasing the thermal stability of polymers, with epoxy binder used to form the polymer materials. Polyethylene polyamine was used to crosslink the epoxy binder. ... -
Determination of hybrid charmonium meson masses
(Sissa MedialabThe 38th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (LATTICE2021), 2022-05-16)We report initial results from our study of the masses and decay constants of the lightest multiplet of charmonium-like hybrid mesons. We obtain precise measurements of the 1−+ state through the use of a variational basis ... -
Drone-based large-scale particle image velocimetry applied to tidal stream energy resource assessment
(Elsevier, 2022-08)Resource quantification is vital in developing a tidal stream energy site but challenging in high energy areas. Drone-based large-scale particle image velocimetry (LSPIV) may provide a novel, low cost, low risk approach ... -
Experimental investigation of mechanical properties of GGBS-FA-SF blended geopolymer concrete at elevated temperatures
(Elsevier BV, 2024-04)Geopolymer has excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, but geopolymer concrete may not be so because of the large difference in thermal properties between geopolymer and aggregate which could lead to ... -
