Bond behavior degradation between FRP and masonry under aggressive environmental conditions (2018)
Journal Article
Ramirez, R., Maljaee, H., Ghiassi, B., Lourenço, P. B., & Oliveira, D. V. (2019). Bond behavior degradation between FRP and masonry under aggressive environmental conditions. Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures, 26(1), 6-14. https://doi.org/10.1080/15376494.2018.1534164

Application of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) as external reinforcement for masonry structures has been found to be a promising technique, but the long-term behavior of such systems still needs attention. This study presents an overview of the expe... Read More about Bond behavior degradation between FRP and masonry under aggressive environmental conditions.

Comprehensive design optimization of a wind power converter using SiC technology (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussein, A., & Castellazzi, A. (2018, December). Comprehensive design optimization of a wind power converter using SiC technology. Presented at 6th IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid, icSmartGrids 2018, Nagasaki, Japan

This paper proposes the joint electro-magnetic and electro-thermal design optimization of a three-phase two-level voltage-source inverter, referring to the specific operational conditions of wind power conversion applications. The reference power lev... Read More about Comprehensive design optimization of a wind power converter using SiC technology.

Drawing on Architecture: The Object of Lines, 1970–1990 (2018)
Book
Kauffman, J. (2018). Drawing on Architecture: The Object of Lines, 1970–1990. Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press (MIT Press). https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/11370.001.0001

How architectural drawings emerged as aesthetic objects, promoted by a network of galleries, collectors, and institutions, and how this changed the understanding of architecture.

Prior to the 1970s, buildings were commonly understood to be the goa... Read More about Drawing on Architecture: The Object of Lines, 1970–1990.
