Integration of the PCM with intra-ventilation for improved thermal and inertial characteristics of the building envelope

Several solutions based on phase change materials (PCM) are used for the thermal regulation of buildings. In this study, a combination of the inertial effect of PCM and intra-ventilation regulation is proposed. The purpose is to increase the thermal…

Statistical-Probabilistic Approach to the Lifetime and Strength Degradation of E-Glass Filaments and Bundles under Constant Tensile Loading in Water

The present paper discusses the statistical features of static fatigue for E-glass multifilament tows in water. In such an aggressive environment, the glass fibres are sensitive to slow crack propagation from micron-sized flaws. Rupture and…
