Evaluation of Stresses in a Tile Fixing System Under Thermal Gradients
Silva, L.; Sequeira, P.; Flores, A.; Viriato, N.; Melo, F.Q.; Vaz, M. A.Tile fixing success in external environments as façade, terraces and balconies depends, among several factors, on a correct mechanical, chemical and physical compatibility among all system elements such as support, tile and used mortars. When exposed to a thermal gradient, factors as tile size and color, support type and joint width, will play a special relevance in the stress field intensity. Recently, one stu...
Evaluation of Stresses in a Tile Fixing System Under Thermal Gradients
Silva, L.; Sequeira, P.; Flores, A.; Viriato, N.; Melo, F.Q.; Vaz, M. A.O sucesso da aplicação de cerâmica em fachadas e pavimentos exteriores depende, entre vários fatores, de uma correta relação e compatibilidade mecânica, química e física entre os todos os elementos envolvidos, a saber, o suporte, a cerâmica e as argamassas. Quando exposto a variação térmica, fatores como a dimensão e cor dos cerâmicos, tipologia do suporte e dimensão de junta adotada, assumem especial relevânci...
Using plantar pressures for improving arch support for shoe customization
Martins, Cátia; Marques, M. Arcelina; Viriato, N.; Vaz, Mário G.The footwear industry is evolving from a laborintensive work to a knowledge-based manufacturing process, developing customized and personalized products in order to meet the customer needs [1]. Pathologies like high arch and flat foot are widely studied and some orthoses have shown positive results in treatment [1, 4]. The objective of this work was to customize the design of a comfort shoe (Arcopédico), so it ...
