This study evaluates two different scenarios of an integrated system to generate electricity for a charging station using proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). To improve the efficiency, the exhaust heat of these two ...
Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
The tensile behavior under low loading rates governs to a large extend the mechanical response of Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) at early age and long term, in applications of rehabilitation. A viscoelastic-v ...
Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are very promising materials for nuclear applications. In thispaper, the hot working behavior of ODS ferritic steels, consolidated by hot extrusion, is studied through torsion tests. Three ODS steels are produced ...
Fuel cell and hydrogen technologies are re-gaining momentum in a number of sectors including industrial, tertiary and residential ones. Integrated biogas fuel cell plants in wastewater treatment plants and other bioenergy recovery plants are nowadays on th ...
By a micro-experimental methodology, we study the ongoing molecular process inside coarse fibrin networks by means of microrheology. We made these networks gelate around a probe microbead, allowing us to observe a temporal evolution compatible with the wel ...
We have conducted discrete element simulations (PFC3D) of very loose, cohesive, granular assemblies with initial configurations which are drawn from Baxter's sticky hard sphere (SHS) ensemble. The SHS model is employed as a promising auxiliary means to ind ...
One of the most important characteristics of load-bearing structures is ductility, i.e. the ability of a material or a structure to sustain inelastic deformation prior to failure, without loss of resistance. The topic of this PhD Thesis was to develop duct ...
Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) are cementitious materials with exceptional mechanical properties and outstanding durability making them ideal materials for rehabilitation, for the improvement of load carrying ...
This paper presents the results of an experimental program designed to study the effects of aging and a wet environment on the fatigue behavior of epoxy resins used in bridge applications. Specimens were manufactured, cured, and treated, before the experim ...
