In this paper, we exploit the notion of partial sparsity for scene reconstruction associated with through-the-wall radar imaging of stationary targets under reduced data volume. Partial sparsity implies that the scene being imaged consists of a sparse part and a dense part, with the support of the latter assumed to be known. For the problem at hand, sparsity is represented by a few stationary i...

The thesis project was the vehicle for an investigation of prefabrication, assembly, and the design of a lived space. Elements are separated from the building and from each other. This separation is both physically and functionally significant. This separation of elements is presented as the architecture of a joint. The wall is divided into two parts: exterior and interior; creating a wall that...

Service life assessment of three historical building envelopes constructed using different types of sandstone is presented. At first, experimental measurements of material parameters of sandstones are performed to provide the necessary input data for a subsequent computational analysis. In the second step, the moisture and temperature fields across the studied envelopes are calculated for a rep...

Laminated bamboo lumber (BLL) and scrimber (BS) are potential environmentally friendly building materials, considering that they hygroscopic materials their hygrothermal performance is closely related to the occupants’ comfort, durability, energy consumption. This study carried out material property tests on bamboo-based (BLL BS) analyzed simulations exterior wall constructions in five major cl...

The standard engineer’s model for heat transfer between the fluid flowing through pipe and exterior medium neglects effects of pipe’s wall. goal this paper is to prove that they are not always negligible. Comparing ratio diffusivities wall with wall’s thickness, using rigorous asymptotic analysis, we find five different models effective description exchange process.

In the study, energy and exergy analysis of buildings on a campus in Turkey are conducted by using actual operating data taking measurements district heating system as case study. The demands, losses that stem from all calculated according to average daily outdoor temperature data. Due high heat buildings, determining optimal insulation thickness for exterior wall should be investigated. Theref...
