Electric vehicles in emergencies and evacuations: a review of resilience and future research directions
Download2024-10-21
Babaei, Mohammad Hossein, Wong, Stephen D.
Disasters often require large-scale evacuations, and damage key infrastructure (e.g., power, transportation). With growing electric vehicle (EV) adoption and electrification of transportation, governments and utilities may face significant power challenges during disasters, especially during the...

Thermal Effusivity Assessment of Sportswear Fabrics in the Dry State: Stacked and Air-Hoop Methods
Download2024-01-01
Islam, Md. Rashedul, Gholamreza, Farzan, Golovin, Kevin, Dolez, Patricia I.
Thermal effusivity is an essential fabric characteristic that influences the perception of coolness or warmth due to the exchange of thermal energy between the human body and the cloth layer when they come into contact. In the current study, thermal effusivity measurements were conducted on a...
