Effect of various curing methods and addition of silica aerogel on mortar properties
Mechanical and thermal properties and porosity of aerogel-incorporated mortars exposed to various curing conditions (curing by wetting-drying, curing by magnesium sulphate (MgSO4), and water curing)...
Auto-coherent homogenization applied to the assessment of thermal conductivity: case of sugar cane bagasse fibers and moisture content effect
Auto-coherent homogenization is used to evaluate the thermal conductivity of sugar cane bagasse fibers in vegetable fibers/cement composites. The moisture content effect on the thermal conductivity...
Effect of Inert Plasticizers on Mechanical, Thermal, and Sensitivity Properties of Polyurethane‐based Plastic Bonded Explosives
Mechanical, thermal, and sensitivity properties of plastic bonded explosives (PBX) depend on the type of ingredients in their formulation. Aim of the work is to develop aluminized cast PBX...
Investigation of the Influence of Inert Solids on Ignition Sensitivity of Organic Powder
This work presents the results of the experimental characterization of the ignition sensitivity of solid inertant/combustible powders mixtures. Three inert solids (alumina, Kieselguhr, aerosil) and...
