In the fresh produce industry, corrugated containers must be made to provide adequate protection throughout the product life cycle. In response to increasing materials costs in the corrugated industry, companies are focusing upon developing more efficient packaging designs. The scope of this project focuses on presenting alternative corrugated packaging designs for the fresh produce industry. I...

The steel frame reinforced with steel shear wall is a lateral load resisting system and has higher strength and shear performance than the concrete shear wall system. Especially, using corrugated steel plates in these shear wall systems improves out-of-plane stiffness and flexibility in the deformation along the corrugation. In this paper, a cyclic loading test of this steel frame reinforced wi...

Molecular dynamics of argon atoms in a nano-triangular channel which consists of (111) platinum walls were studied. The molecular dynamics simulations aim to gain understanding in the heat transfer through the channel including the influence of the contact resistances which become important in small-scale systems. The heat transfer properties of the finite-space system were measured at a quasi-...
