This paper presents an experimental study on the fire behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) load- carrying slabs for building and bridge applications. Fire experiments were performed on cellular full-scale slabs with and without internal liquid ...
As the range of applications for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials in civil engineering constantly increases, there is more and more concern with regard to their performance in critical environments. The fire behavior of composite material ...
An active fire protection system, liquid-cooling, was applied to pultruded GFRP tubes subjected to combined thermal and mechanical loading in order to maintain material temperature below the critical glass transition temperature. The use of an appropriate ...
Two kinds of anomaly, observed in the Volt-Ampere Characteristic (VAC) of large NbTi cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) are discussed. In one case, the wavy behavior of the VAC close to the current sharing range is explained with oscillations of the coolin ...
The application of flow boiling in microchannels in copper cooling elements for very high heat flux dissipation from microprocessor chips is one of the promising technologies to replace air cooling and water cooling of these units, particularly in mainfram ...
The technique of reaction calorimetry adapted for use with reactions in supercritical fluids was used to study some safety aspects of the free-radical dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate in scCO2. The reaction heat rate profile was found to ch ...
Fiber-reinforced synthetic polymers (FRP) are the building materials that may permit both the improvement of long-term building performance and the simplification of the construction process. Thanks to their high specific strength, low thermal conductivity ...
ABSTRACT: Thin ultra high performance fibre reinforced concretes overlays are suitable for rehabilitation of structures thanks to their enhanced properties. However, in such composite structures, restrained differential shrinkage cracking is an important c ...
In this work, we aim to understand the firing behaviour of three representative thick-film resistor compositions used in force and pressure sensors. The dependence of the materials' microstructure and properties (sheet resistance and its temperature coeffi ...
This paper presents experimental studies on the fire behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates and unloaded cellular FRP components with internal liquid cooling. The experiments were conducted to verify the objective of liquid cooling ...
