Sound absorption of porous cement composites: effects of the porosity and the pore size (2015)
Journal Article
Rutkevičius, M., Austin, Z., Chalk, B., Mehl, G. H., Qin, Q., Rubini, P. A., Stoyanov, S. D., & Paunov, V. N. (2015). Sound absorption of porous cement composites: effects of the porosity and the pore size. Journal of materials science, 50(9), 3495-3503. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10853-015-8912-5

© 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York. We prepared sound absorbing cement–hydrogel composites using a hydrogel slurry templating technique. We air-dried the wet cement composites containing a varying percentage and size of entrapped hydrog...

Prestressed polymeric matrix composites: Longevity aspects (2015)
Journal Article
Fazal, A., & Fancey, K. S. (2016). Prestressed polymeric matrix composites: Longevity aspects. Polymer composites, 37(7), 2092-2097. https://doi.org/10.1002/pc.23387

Elastically pre-stressed polymeric matrix composites (EPPMCs) are produced by stretching fibers (e.g. glass) within the composite during matrix curing. The resulting pre-stress can enhance mechanical performance, without increasing section dimensions... Read More about Prestressed polymeric matrix composites: Longevity aspects.

Heat integration of natural gas combined cycle power plant integrated with post-combustion CO₂ capture and compression (2015)

Characterization of the residual stresses in spray-formed steels using neutron diffraction (2015)
Journal Article
Lee, T. L., Mi, J., Zhao, S. L., Fan, J. F., Zhang, S. Y., Kabra, S., & Grant, P. S. (2015). Characterization of the residual stresses in spray-formed steels using neutron diffraction. Scripta materialia, 100, 82-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scriptamat.2014.12.019

Neutron diffraction was used to characterize the residual stresses in an as-sprayed tube-shaped steel preform. The measured residual stress distributions were compared with those simulated using finite element method by taking into account the effect...
