Numerical analysis of ACSR conductor-clamp systems undergoing wind-induced cyclic loads
(2018)
Abstract—Submitted to wind induced vibrations, overhead
conductors are vulnerable to fatigue damage, especially at
restraining fixtures such as the suspension clamp. This paper
proposes an efficient finite element ...
Thermal plasma synthesis of Li2S nanoparticles for application in lithium-sulfur batteries
(2021)
Abstract : Inductively-coupled thermal plasma processes were used to produce nanosized Li2S. Prior to the syntheses, the feasibility of forming Li2S was first evaluated using FactSage by considering the phase diagrams of ...
Biofiltration of methane from cow barns: Effects of climatic conditions and packing bed media acclimatization
(2018)
Abstract: The performance of biofiltration to mitigate CH4 emissions from cow barns was investigated in the laboratory using two flow-through columns constructed with an acclimatized packed bed media composed of inexpensive ...
Using confocal microscopy and digital image correlation to measure local strains around a chip corner and a crack front
(2020)
Abstract: In a flip chip package, the chip corner areas which
are embedded in the underfill material are often critical to the
damage initiation, since a stress concentration usually exists at
these locations. A high ...
Fugitive methane emissions from two experimental biocovers constructed with tropical residual soils: field study using a large flux chamber
(2019)
Abstract: This study aimed at assessing the response of two experimental passive methane
oxidation biocovers (PMOB) installed in a Brazilian landfill located in Guarapuava,
State of Paraná. The PMOBs covered an area of ...
Two novel biofilters to remove volatile organic compounds emitted by landfill sites
(2016)
Abstract: The present work investigates the potential of two experimental field columns (FC-2 and FC-4) to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill located in Quebec, ...
Examination of the effects of solids content on thickened gold mine tailings sedimentation and self-weight consolidation
(2019)
Abstract: Thickening is being increasingly adopted by the mining industry because of its
economic and environmental attributes, such as decreased amounts of water
released following deposition and a smaller footprint of ...
Plasma processes in the preparation of lithium-ion battery electrodes and separators
(2017)
Abstract: Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the energy storage devices that dominate the portable electronic market. They are now also considered and used for electric vehicles and are foreseen to enable the smart grid. ...
Vertical grain and columnar structured Ba(Mg1/3Ta2/3)O3 thermal barrier coating deposited by solution precursor plasma spray
(2020)
Abstract: Thermal barrier coatings (TBC) with a lamellar structure are more susceptible to erosion than fully dense ceramics and electron beam physical vapor deposited (EB-PVD) coatings. This paper presents a distinctive ...
Reduction of odours in pilot-scale landfill biocovers
(2014)
Abstract: Unpleasant odours generated from waste management facilities represent an environmental and societal concern. This multi-year study documented odour and total reduced sulfur (TRS) abatement in four experimental ...
