Experimental investigation on performance of fabrics for indirect evaporative cooling applications (2016)
Journal Article
Xu, P., Ma, X., Zhao, X., & Fancey, K. S. (2016). Experimental investigation on performance of fabrics for indirect evaporative cooling applications. Building and Environment, 110, 104-114. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2016.10.003

© 2016 Indirect evaporative cooling, by using water evaporation to absorb heat to lower the air temperature without adding moisture, is an extremely low energy and environmentally friendly cooling principle. The properties of the wet channel surface... Read More about Experimental investigation on performance of fabrics for indirect evaporative cooling applications.

Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites: An overview (2016)
Journal Article
Fancey, K. S. (2016). Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites: An overview. Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, 35(17), 1290-1301. https://doi.org/10.1177/0731684416649036

Elastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites exploit the principles of prestressed concrete, i.e. fibres are stretched elastically during matrix curing. On matrix solidification, compressive stresses are created within the matrix, counterbalan... Read More about Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites: An overview.
