Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmall-Scale Test of Transparent Adhesives in Glass Structures under Shear Stress and Their Ageing ResistanceMarkéta Zikmundová, Martina EliášováGlass load-bearing structures, which have been popular in recent years, require careful attention to detail, because with improper design there is a concentration of stress leading to failure and subsequent collapse of the structure. Mechanical connections are mainly used but there are disadvantages such as stress peaks, weakening of the cross-section, or aesthetic reasons. Adhesive connections eliminate these disadvantages. The … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 6 Mar 2022 · 6,561 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical Reliability Calculations for the Thin Specialty Glass PV Solar PanelsDhananjay Joshi, James E. WebbThis study provides important design guidance to the Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel development efforts using the finite element based computations of the PV module under the mechanical loadings. We consider specialty thin glass (Corning Eagle XG®) as superstrate of the PV module, while a standard tempered Soda-Lime-Silica Glass (SLG) is considered as bottom support. The reliability calculations for the module … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 3 Sep 2019 · 7,138 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonomers Release from Dental Composites: Effect of Immersion Media and Photoactivation Light SourceRaquel A.B. da Silva, Talita P. Prates, Driely Barreiros et al.The present study aimed to evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively the products released by composites with different light sources when immersed in distilled water or artificial saliva. Thirty-six samples were obtained from the composites using a silicone matrix. Specimens were divided into 12 groups according to: Composite (Charisma®, FiltekTMSilorane or GC Kalore®), device used for the materials photoactivation (halogen light or … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2015 · 7,188 accessesView PDF Cite
