Abstract The frontrunner in the race to develop a high temperature resin for use advanced composites intended applications is NASA developed polyimide PMR‐15. One of key factors success material relatively easy processing which due mainly PMR approach (Polymerisation Monomeric Reactants). Prepreg and quality composite laminates (glass or carbon) can be prepared with ease. Laminate properties compare well conventional epoxy based systems but thermal stability much greater. Continuous...
The concept of shared space as applied in an urban road environment aims to reduce the dominance motor vehicles by promoting pedestrian and cyclist activity utilizing a place. Unlike conventional road, encourages all users legally occupy same with little physical separation. paper presents pedestrian-related performance measures that were developed under multifaceted methodological framework evaluate success shared-space schemes on basis study areas city center Auckland, New Zealand....
This paper utilises experimental and numerical methods of determining the temperature distribution in an asphalt slab containing energized embedded emulator Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) pad. In series experiments, five different ambient temperatures from 15 to 50 °C, four IPT pad power loss values 5 30 W, three pavement layer configurations were considered. A thermal camera was used measure surface slab, while a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor six thermistors for point measurements....
To recycle reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) derived from porous (PA) surfacing into a new PA mix, fundamental understanding of RAP binder properties is needed. In this paper, two binders, with and without rejuvenation, were evaluated using quantitative nanomechanical atomic force microscopy (QNM AFM) performance grading (PG) testing. A model that describes the effect bio-rejuvenator on microstructure was developed. strong correlation found between measured at nanoscale macroscale, indicating...
We apply a viscoelastic cycle model to compilation of GPS velocity fields in order address the kinematics deformation northwestern United States. A accounts for time-dependent following large crustal earthquakes and is an alternative block models explaining interseismic field. Building on approach taken Pollitz et al., we construct entire western States—based combined fault slip distributed deformation—and focus implications Mendocino triple junction (MTJ), Cascadia megathrust, Washington....
Road users in a shared space are expected to travel at low operating speeds or very near walking speeds. This expectation is ensure that an urban street functions as destination and the dominance of vehicular traffic neutralized. The implementation concept on public road requires safety evaluation, especially for vulnerable such pedestrians cyclists. However, evaluation difficult because potential conflicts across whole corridor (public right-of-way) except designated areas free vehicles....
Objective Despite the importance of parenting-related responsibilities for adult patients with terminal illnesses who have dependent children, little is known about psychological concerns dying parents and their families at end life (EOL). The aim this study was to elicit widowed fathers’ perspectives on how parental status may influenced EOL experiences mothers advanced cancer. Subjects 344 men identified themselves through an open-access educational website as fathers had lost a spouse...
Unbound granular materials (UGM) are extensively used as basecourse around the world they capable of bearing relatively high traffic loads and an economical option in comparison to bound materials. The unbound performance determines life-cycle costs a pavement. extent which repeated load triaxial test can predict laboratory is important parameter for road designers. Moreover, depends upon moisture conditions when being loaded, gradation curve material, situ density, permeability, nature...
