Abstract Façades are the primary interface controlling flow of solar energy in buildings and affecting their balance environmental impact. Recently, large‐scale 3D printing (3DP) translucent polymers has been explored as a technique for fabricating façade components with bespoke properties functionalities. Transmissivity is essential building facades, response to radiation crucial obtaining com...

In this paper an electromagnetic scattering model, RT2, and a semi-empirical model, interferometric water cloud model (IWCM), were used to simulate backscatter and coherence of boreal forest at C-band. The coherence is related to the backscattering coefficients of the vegetation and the underlying ground surface, and the transmissivity of forests via the IWCM model where interactions between ve...

Thermoelastic behavior of temperature-dependent (TD) and independent (TID) functionally graded variable thickness cantilever beam subjected to mechanical and thermal loadings is studied based on shear deformation theory using a semi-analytical method. Loading is composed of a transverse distributed force, a longitudinal distributed temperature field due to steady-state heat conduction from root...
