Solar thermal energy is a clean, climate-friendly and inexhaustible energy resource. It is
therefore promising to cope with fossil fuel depletion and climate change. Thermal storage …

The present research work is part of a desire to provide additional and necessary
knowledge for the development of thermal storage technology. In concentrating solar power …

In natural settings, microbes tend to grow in dense populations,,, where they need to push
against their surroundings to accommodate space for new cells. The associated contact …

Energy storage is becoming indispensable for increasing renewable energy integration, and
it is critical to the future low-carbon energy supply. Large-capacity, grid scale energy storage …

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of cylindrical open top ground-supported water tanks is
investigated. The main focus of this study is to identify the major parameters affecting the …

A constrained multi-objective optimization approach is applied to optimize the exergy
efficiency and material costs of thermocline packed-bed thermal-energy storage systems …

Multiple hazards, such as, earthquake, strong wind, snow, flood-induced scour, tsunami,
landslide, rain, blast, explosion, fire outbreak, etc. have caused extensive global …

In this paper, to study the dynamic response and energy dissipation capacity, a series of
shaking table tests on a small-scale cylindrical steel silo structure model was proposed …

This paper reports on a series of shaking table tests on a full‐scale flat‐bottom steel silo
filled with soft wheat, characterized by aspect ratio of around 0.9. The specimen was a 3.64 …

This paper presents a literature compendium about the main studies on the structural
behavior, vulnerability, and risk of industrial silos, as one of the most important players of …
