Thermomechanical Behaviors of a Novel Double-Layer Corrugated Core Structure for Thermal Protection System by Bin Li, Zixuan Hang, Ting Dai

“…Numerical results show that the orthogonal type has more excellent yield resistance at high temperature and large temperature gradient than the others, while the parallel type has a relatively stronger buckling resistance. In addition, the structural stiffness variation caused by temperature dependencies of material parameters is greater than that caused by thermal stress, which shows the significance of consideration of temperature-dependent material properties in structure vibration analysis.…”

Surface and Internal Waves due to a Moving Load on a Very Large Floating Structure by Taro Kakinuma, Kei Yamashita, Keisuke Nakayama

“…Interaction of surface/internal water waves with a floating platform is discussed with nonlinearity of fluid motion and flexibility of oscillating structure. The set of governing equations based on a variational principle is applied to a one- or two-layer fluid interacting with a horizontally very large and elastic thin plate floating on the water surface. …”

Unlocking the energy potential of Moroccan bentonite clay: structural, optical, and thermal insights for advanced applications by Noura El Ghoubali, Abdelkrim Maaroufi, Adnane El Hamidi, Aumeur El Amarani

“…Thermal analyses, performed by thermogravimetry (TGA), differential thermogravimetry (DTG), and differential thermal analysis (DTA), were used to study the material's response to temperature variations. The results showed significant endothermic effects, indicating dehydration of the water absorbed in the montmorillonite, followed by structural transformation at higher temperatures. …”
