The experience of the eruption in Montserrat in 1997 has shown that the resistance of openings of buildings represents a crucial factor in the evaluation of vulnerability to the stresses caused by pyroclastic flows, although the static nature of the building itself is not compromised. ...

The building sector, especially considering existing buildings, requires an enormous part of a country's energy demand. In the course of the renovation of buildings, therefore, less emphasis is placed on the protection of the appearance of historical/older buildings than on their future ... En savoir plus
A time-dependent study was conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics® (Conjugate Heat Transfer interface and Heat Transfer with Phase Change feature) for the numerical investigation of the thermal performance of novel Phase Change Material (PCM)-enhanced plasters for their incorporation in ...

Predicting vibroacoustic performance in buildings in terms of sound insulation is a challenging task. As of today, no widespread standardised accurate method for predicting either impact or airborne sound insulation has been established. Rather, several software relying in the analytical ...

Finite element based modeling is one of the most powerful computational tools currently available. Amongst others a possible drawback could be the computation duration time, that can be expected at transient nonlinear problems, or at more simple problems with a large time span. One of ...

Additive manufacturing processes are increasingly used for designing metallic parts with complex geometries. The current needs are focused on the manufacturing of large-scale parts, typically of meter range. However, for such dimensions, the traditional trial-and-error methodology used ... En savoir plus
The quantitative value of electrical bio impedance in tissue structures is sensitive to changes in ionic concentration, frequency and dispersion but lacks specificity. It is difficult to a create a physical measurement set up of clinical value capable of quantifying the contribution of ... En savoir plus
Nowadays, thermal insulation is applied to most buildings. However, this proves to be a challenge for most monumental buildings. When insulation needs to be applied at the interior side of a building, thermal bridges are inevitable. Wooden beam ends beared in an external wall are an ... En savoir plus
Vibro-acoustics encompasses the study of interaction between sound and vibration. For example, sound transmission analysis is important to design vehicle bodies and building partitions, advanced noise control technologies can ease the increasing noise pollution problem in densely ... En savoir plus
Benchmarks are important tools to verify computational models. In the research area of building physics, the so-called HAMSTAD (Heat, Air and Moisture STAnDardization) project is a very well known benchmark for the testing of simulation tools. In this paper we revisit this benchmark by ... En savoir plus
