This paper presents the experimental result of a small scale packed bed of random spheres with encapsulated PCM being charged and discharged. A vapor compression refrigerator and heated room with fan heater were used to ...

This paper presents the modelling of a general lifetime performance for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes similar to the well-known Tsai-Hill interactive failure criterion. Tsai Hill criterion is based ...

This paper describes the modeling of multiaxial ultimate elastic wall stress (UEWS) at room temperature for glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) composite pipes. The model developed, predicts the stress-strain response caused ...

The paper describes the effects of the montmorillonite (MMT) fillers commonly known as nanoclay, on the compression properties of unsaturated polyester resins at different weight percentage of nanoclay. Modified resin ...

This paper describes the experimental investigation of the tensile strength of untreated Napier grass fibre reinforced polyester composites. Napier grass fibres were extracted trough conventional water retting process and ...

This paper presents the experimental investigation of interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) tests of helical wound glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipes subjected to hydrothermal ageing. Currently, the test is being used ...

In this study, an experimental investigation was conducted in order to determine the effect of different adhesive thickness (i.e., 0.1, 0.5, 0.7 and 1 mm) on strength of ductile adhesive joint. The study scope covers both ...

The butt joint is the most studied type of adhesive joints in the literature. However, the joint strength prediction of joints is still a controversial issue as it involves a lot of factors that are difficult to quantify ...

This paper presents the stress and thermal analysis on the CubeSat structure to study the survivability of the CubeSat during the launching process or operating condition at the orbit is presented. Various design of ...
