Axial Crush Performance of Hot Stamped Tailor Welded Blanks - Experiments and Numerical Simulations

Peister, Cale (University of Waterloo, 2019-01-30)

This thesis investigates the axial crush performance of hot stamped tailor-welded blanks (TWBs) and their potential for weight reduction in the front crush structure of a vehicle. A baseline demonstrator structure, fabricated ...
Calculating the Solar Heat Gain of Window Frames

Wright, John L.; McGowan, Alexander G. (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 1999)

It is not practical to measure the solar heat gain of a window frame. It is more practical to do so by calculation. Typically, the frame solar heat gain is a small component of the total or is small in absolute terms so ...
