Experimental determination of the flow parameters involved in moisture migration through fiberglass insulation materials
… gravitational and surface tension forces in the migration of liquid water through fiberglass insulation materials. Straightforward experimental procedures were devised to effectively isolate and quantify flow parameters considered important in describing the flow mechanisms involved. The study …

Understanding and predicting transient material behaviors associated with mechanical resonance in cementitious composites
… behaviors depended on the extent of damage and moisture states of a specimen. A small-scale disc vibration experiment was designed to enable imaging, using an environmental scanning electron microscope during vibration excitation in a controlled environment. Moisture migration within the paste …

Moisture transfer in porous materials exposed to combined humidity and temperature gradients
Moisture migration is responsible for much damage in modern buildings. Air infiltrations were almost eliminated because of the use of various qualities of materials and insulation. Water is mainly transferred through building materials by diffusion, under three different phases (vapor, liquid and …

Time- and Temperature-Dependence of Fracture Energies Attributed to Copper/Epoxy Bonds
… of fracture), temperature, and the amount of moisture migration, as determined via humidity conditioning parameters.

Characterisation of sedimentary structure and hydraulic behaviour within the unsaturated zone of the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone aquifer in North East England
… together with a detailed investigation of moisture migration in the vadose zone at a single field site. Sedimentary structure and likely permeability variations were studied by use of laboratory grainsize analysis, logging of nearby outcrops, borehole geophysics and Ground Penetrating Radar …

Multiscale modeling of transport mechanisms and quality changes in frozen foods during freeze-thaw cycles
… insights into the mechanisms of heat transfer, moisture migration, ice crystallization and solute diffusion are necessary to be achieved to understand the complex freezing process. The objective of this study is to develop a fundamental mathematical model complemented by the experimental …

Circuit rating methods for high temperature cables
… operation can lead to significant problems with moisture migration which is not easily modelled by traditional calculations. To overcome this a full dynamic backfill model has been created which explicitly models moisture movement and allows its impact on the thermal profile around a high …
