Theoretical and experimental analysis of the quasi-static and dynamic behaviour...
Tadeu, António; Fernández Romero, Antonio J.; Bandeira, Filipe; Pedro, Filipe; Dias, Sara; Serra, Miguel; Brett, Michael; Galvín, PedroThis work validates the simplified theoretical, analytical and numerical models used in the preliminary design stage of the 516 Arouca footbridge over the River Paiva (Portugal), the world's longest suspension footbridge. The models were used to define the configuration of the bridge under static loading and the eigenfrequencies excited under dynamic loading. The three-dimensional finite element model used in t...
Thermal and Mechanical Characterisation of Sandwich Core Materials for Climatic...
Dias, Sara; Tadeu, António; Ramalho, Amilcar; Brett, Michael; Pedro, FilipeClimatic chamber testing conditions are becoming more demanding. A wide range of temperatures is used to check the quality of products and materials, since they are constantly being improved. However, there is no literature on how the components of the climatic chamber panels react under high temperatures. The present work therefore sets out to perform a thermal and mechanical characterisation of four core mate...
Evaluation of the Thermofluidic Performance of Climatic Chambers: Numerical and...
Ramezani, Bahareh; Tadeu, António; Jesus, Tiago; Brett, Michael; Mendes, JoelClimatic chambers are highly important in research and industrial applications and are used to examine manufactured samples, specimens, or components in controlled environment conditions. Despite the growing industrial demand for climatic chambers, only a few published studies have specifically concentrated on performance analysis and functional improvements through numerical and experimental studies. In this s...
