Special Thermal Insulation Methods of Building Constructions with Nanomaterials
Journal Title: Acta Technica Jaurinensis - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Nanotechnology-based materials have previously been used by space research, pharmaceuticals and electronics, but in the last decade several nanotechnology-based thermal insulation materials have appeared in the building industry. Nowadays they only feature in a narrow range of practice, but they offer many potential applications. These options are unknown for the most architects, who may simply be afraid of these materials owing to the incomplete and often contradictory special literature. Therefore, they are distrustful and prefer to apply the usual and conventional technologies. This article is intended to provide basic information about nanotechnology-based thermal insulation materials for designers. It describes their most important material properties, functional principles, applications and potential usage options in building construction.

This paper examines the possibility of generalizing the Shannon-Fano code for cases where the output alphabet has more then 2 (n) symbols. This generalization is well-known for the famous Huffman code. Furthermore, we wi...
A Method for the Numerical Modelling of Embedded Rails and Determining Parameters to be Optimized
To carry out FEM modelling two model parameters are needed the elastic (Young) modulus (E) and the Poisson-coefficient (μ). Unfortunately, they are not available in every case, and even if so, they need to be corrected....
