Fire resistance tests of building elements are essential for evaluating their ability to withstand fire exposure and prevent fire spread. Fire resistance tests are expensive and usually take months to organize. If the same structure is retested at the same lab, the systems are so complex ... Read More
Curing concrete is best achieved by keeping it nearly saturated at an appropriate temperature until all the cement has fully reacted. However, when installing flooring materials that require low relative humidity (RH) in the concrete, the slab needs to dry as quickly as possible. ... Read More
In the rapid development cycle of sensor systems, minimizing time-to-market is crucial. However, designing a new MEMS-chip (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) presents significant challenges due to the extensive time required for manufacturing and characterization. This delay affects the ... Read More
Toxic and hazardous air pollutants are released during chemical processes. The surrounding area of a chemical facility always has a high risk of air pollution by released chemicals. Furthermore, the personnel of the facility as well as community residents have risks of sudden ... Read More
In power electronics applications, microelectronic chips face swift temperature changes during operation, characterized by heat pulses of sub-millisecond duration with temperatures rising by hundreds of Kelvin. Over time, these conditions may lead to degradation in the metallization ... Read More
The pore water pressure in the vadose zone is controlled by the interaction between the soil and the atmosphere through evaporation and infiltration. These processes are strongly influenced by the soil's hydraulic conductivity and water retention properties (Guida et al., 2023). In this ... Read More
HETT22 is a software developed through joint efforts by Deflexional and Heidelberg Materials. It enables construction companies to accurately simulate, plan and monitor heat and strength development in concrete after castings. Leveraging the power of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, ... Read More
The process-induced deformation in the DED fabricated part is a critical issue to the scaling of the technology. Currently, an inefficient and expensive experiment trial-and-error approach is utilized to tackle this issue, however it is not feasible for large parts. Researchers have ... Read More
Innovative materials, such as ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced-concrete (UHP-FRC), provide an opportunity to reduce building energy loss by developing energy-efficient facade panels. However, investigating the thermal performance of these façade systems without considering the ... Read More
In this work we present a novel approach to enhance energy efficiency in cooling intake air for air conditioning (AC) systems in harsh environments using geothermal energy. We developed a 3D finite element model to simulate the heat transfer between underground soils/gravels and cooling ... Read More
