Amplitude-dependent damping in vibration serviceability: Case of a laboratory footbridge by Avci, Onur

“…Construction technology advancements in the last couple of decades have led to the use of lightweight and high-strength materials in structural systems. Although longer spans and lighter materials result in floor systems with less mass, stiffness, and damping, the trend toward a paperless office decreases damping and the amount of live load on the floors even more. …”

Phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications in greenhouses: A review by Nishad S.

“…In addition, the PCMs kept inside the greenhouses are capable of providing passive cooling by the absorption of excess solar energy diurnally and passive nocturnal heating by releasing the stored heat. Various systems integrated with PCMs provide a diurnal temperature decrease up to 7 �C and nocturnal temperature increase up to 9 �C compared to the ambient temperature and can cover up to 30% of the greenhouse heating demand. …”
