Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the heat and moisture transfer is investigated numerically by accounting for hysteresis and phase change effects, and two extended cyclical adsorption/desorption experiments are first performed on an instrumented hemp concrete sample.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, numerical modeling of the hygrothermal behavior of a rectangular-shaped porous material during combined drying is presented, based on a one-dimensional physical model describing heat and mass transfers allowing accessing temperature, moisture content and pressure fields.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the possible use of conductive polymer composites (CPC) as thermoelectrical material for energy harvesting from temperature gradient and found that eGR-CNT hybrid fillers are the most effective to enhance the CPC electrical conductivity up to σ = 4123Sm−1, but eGR is more effective to improve both thermal conductivity and seebeck coefficient.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a coupled heat and moisture transfer 1D-model is developed to simulate the hygrothermal behavior of a coated hemp concrete wall, where the hysteretic behavior of each layer (hemp concrete and plasters) is included in the modeling whereas a perfect hygrohermal contact is assumed between each layer.

Abstract: THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF EXPERIMENTS. By Oscar Kempthorne. New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1952. 631 pp. $8.50. This book by a teacher of statistics (as well as a consultant for \"experimenters\") is a comprehensive study of the philosophical background for the statistical design of experiment. It is necessary to have some facility with algebraic notation and manipulation to be able to use the volume intelligently. The problems are presented from the theoretical point of view, without such practical examples as would be helpful for those not acquainted with mathematics. The mathematical justification for the techniques is given. As a somewhat advanced treatment of the design and analysis of experiments, this volume will be interesting and helpful for many who approach statistics theoretically as well as practically. With emphasis on the \"why,\" and with description given broadly, the author relates the subject matter to the general theory of statistics and to the general problem of experimental inference.

TL;DR: Electronic networks comprised of flexible, stretchable, and robust devices that are compatible with large-area implementation and integrated with multiple functionalities is a testament to the progress in developing an electronic skin akin to human skin.
Abstract: Human skin is a remarkable organ. It consists of an integrated, stretchable network of sensors that relay information about tactile and thermal stimuli to the brain, allowing us to maneuver within our environment safely and effectively. Interest in large-area networks of electronic devices inspired by human skin is motivated by the promise of creating autonomous intelligent robots and biomimetic prosthetics, among other applications. The development of electronic networks comprised of flexible, stretchable, and robust devices that are compatible with large-area implementation and integrated with multiple functionalities is a testament to the progress in developing an electronic skin (e-skin) akin to human skin. E-skins are already capable of providing augmented performance over their organic counterpart, both in superior spatial resolution and thermal sensitivity. They could be further improved through the incorporation of additional functionalities (e.g., chemical and biological sensing) and desired properties (e.g., biodegradability and self-powering). Continued rapid progress in this area is promising for the development of a fully integrated e-skin in the near future.
