    Vibration of ZnO nanotubes: a molecular mechanics approach

    We investigate the vibrational properties of two kinds of single-wall ZnO nanotubes. The simulations are carried out for three types of zigzag nanotubes (5,0), (8,0), (10,0) and armchair nanotubes (3,3), (4,4)...

    The Role of Adsorption and Phase Change Phenomena in the Thermophysical Characterization of Moist Porous Materials

    Phase change phenomena in moist porous media with low liquid content, the typical condition of a porous body at ambient conditions and far from the contact of liquid water, are controlled by the shape of the a...

    Ten Years of Parameter Estimation Applied to Dynamic Thermophysical Property Measurements

    The parameter estimation theory is considered the best way to estimate thermophysical properties from dynamic experiments. This approach deals with measurement and model errors in a statistical context and pro...

    Sandwich Structures with Negative Poisson’s Ratio for Deployable Structures

    In the last decade several attempts were made to conceptualise from the microstructure point of view the behaviour of negative Poisson’s ratio materials. Such kind of material expands in all directions when pu...
