The thermal characterization of façades of the existing building stock is essential to establish optimal energy conservation measures. There are different methods to characterize thermal properties of façades. The quantitative internal infrared thermography method is among those most developed. Given the existing differences in the scientific...

One of the properties which defines the energy performance of buildings is the thermal transmittance of their envelope. The quantitative analysis through infrared thermography (IRT) is among those methods to determine it. In addition, this method can be applied from both the interior and the exterior. In this study, the existing external IRT...

The application of passive design strategies in ships, such as the use of superstructures with high thermal insulation, allows the energy demand of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems to be reduced. There is a knowledge gap in the scientific literature on the possibilities tothermally characterize superstructures. Knowing such...

The aluminium alloy sheet forming processes forging in rubber pad and diaphragm presses (also known as hydroforming processes) are simple and economical processes adapted to aeronautical production. Typical defects of these processes are elastic recovery, necking, and wrinkling, and they present di culties in control mainly due to property...
