Article
Open AccessRenewable energy polygeneration systems are a viable alternative to fossil-fuel based systems, but storage solutions may be necessary when aiming for high sustainability and autonomy. As each storage technology has different ... -
Effects of strain aging in NiTi SMA wire for dampers
(Elsevier, 2015)
Article
Open AccessThe thermo-mechanical properties of Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) as smart materials suggest their application as actuators, but also as dampers, thanks to the high damping properties during the hysteresis of the thermo-elastic ... -
A techno-economic optimization model of a biomass-based CCHP/heat pump system under evolving climate conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-08-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn innovative modelling approach for the design of biomass-based, solar-assisted combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) and heat pump (HP) systems for various climate scenarios is proposed in this work. The modelling ... -
Built in dampers for stayed cables in bridges via SMA. The SMARTeR-ESF project: a mesoscopic and macroscopic experimental analysis with numerical simulations
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
Article
Open AccessShape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are good candidates for solid-state dampers appropriate for the oscillations of bridge stay cables because of their large recoverable strain, hysteresis and reasonable fatigue-life. This work ... -
