Calculating heat transfer in building components is an important and nontrivial task. Thus, this work, we extensively examined 13 numerical methods to solve the linear conduction equation walls. Eight of used are recently invented explicit algorithms which unconditionally stable. First, performed verification tests a 2D case by comparing them analytical solutions, using equidistant non-equidist...

This thesis presents the work on thermal imaging sensor brick (TISB) system for modular robotics. The research demonstrates the design, development and characterization of the TISB system. The TISB system is based on the design philosophy of sensor bricks for modular robotics. In under vehicle surveillance for threat detection, which is a target application of this work we have demonstrated the...

Brick monuments are one hallmark of emergent political complexity across much of mainland Southeast Asia during the first millennium AD. They first appeared in association with Indic statuary, large nucleated settlements, and the region's earliest states. Chronometric research in the Mekong delta on the earthen and brick wall that surrounds Angkor Borei (southern Cambodia) provides some of the ...

Abstract. Brick is a building material widely used as construction for walls and fences, one of which uses Pozzolan brick. brick made from Trass, lime, or cement. A local that can be an additional fiber in the mixture making fibers, because it has been proven addition fibers concrete improve its physical mechanical properties, addition, also have hard rotten nature there no decomposer decompose...

This paper presents the modular robotic system SafeBot to air autonomous nuclear security applications. This research serves many Department of Energy applications for inspection and surveillance in hazardous areas. Currently four kinds of sensors are available through the SafeBot robotics system: laser ranger sensor brick, thermal sensor brick, visual sensor brick and gamma and neutron sensor ...

The effect of artificial pozzolan (waste brick) on the physico-chemical properties of cement manufactured was investigated. The waste brick is generated by the manufacture of bricks. It was used in the proportions of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by mass of cement to study its effect on the physico-chemical properties of cement incorporating artificial pozzolan. The physicochemical properties of cem...
