Self-Sensing Cellulose Structures With Design-Controlled Stiffness

Stiffness-based Approach for Preliminary Design of Framed Tube Structures

A parametric formulation for preliminary design of tubed-system tall buildings is presented in which some optimality criteria and practical constraints are considered. Here, a minimum compliance optimization formulation, developed by other researchers, is applied to a framed-tube structure. The tube behavior is modeled as a cantilevered box beam. Independent variable in this problem is thicknes...

Cellulose composite structures – by design

Optimal design of controlled structures

1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Before the notion of structural control was introduced, structural design had to be conservative in practical applications to be safe enough against various uncertainties on material properties, defining loading and support conditions as well as variations in external excitations. During the past two decades, substantial effort has been made toward reducing the buildin...

Taste sensing with polyacrylamide grafted cellulose

The research work covers polymer membrane preparation, morphology study, and structural characterization of the membrane and study of the taste sensing characteristics of membrane for five different taste substances. FTIR spectroscopic analysis, UV spectroscopic analysis and SEM were carried for the structure and morphology of polyacrylamide (PAM) grafted cellulose membrane. Sensor characterist...

Fluorescence Sensing with Cellulose‐Based Materials

Cellulose-based materials functionalized with fluorescence sensors are highly topical and are employed in many areas of functional materials, including the sensing of heavy-metal ions and anions as well as being widely used as chemical sensors and tools for environmental applications. In this Review, we cover recent progress in the development of cellulose-based fluorescence sensors as parts of...
