Accessing the thermal transport properties of glasses is a major issue for the design of production strategies of glass industry, as well as for the plethora of applications and devices where glasses are employed. From the computational standpoint, the che ...
The effect of low-temperature curing on the physical characteristics of a commercial cold-curing epoxy adhesive was experimentally and analytically investigated with a view to a potential application in bridge construction in winter. Curing at low temperat ...
The early-age mechanical property development of structural adhesives during low temperature curing is critical for the outdoor construction of engineering structures, such as bridges or buildings. Construction of these structures is also carried out durin ...
The use of the structural adhesive bonding technique is well established in the aircraft and automotive industries where, in most cases, joints can be fabricated indoors under controlled conditions. In the civil engineering domain, however, load-bearing st ...
We introduce a scheme for the calculation of nonresonant hyper-Raman spectra of vitreous materials within a density-functional formulation. Hyper-Raman tensors are obtained through the application of finite electric fields and explicitly account for the no ...
