HighlightsThe peak breaking force and energy consumption change in maize stalk were predicted by the FEM.A high SADBT reduced the PBFR and PBFS and increased the ECSC.The TRYDB had the most critical effect on the peak breaking force and energy consumption.Abstract. The mechanized retention of stalks is the primary method to avoid open burning. However, the variation in the breaking force and energy consumption in the chopping process of mechanized retention must be clarified. Therefore, based on the finite element method (FEM) and field validation experiments, the effects of various edge-curve types and rotational speeds of disc blades for maize stalk retention on the breaking force and energy consumption were examined. The test indices were the peak breaking force of the rind (PBFR) and stalk (PBFS), energy consumption of stalk chopping (ECSC), and energy transmission efficiency (ETE). The test factors were the spiral disc blade type (Archimedean, logarithmic, and sinusoidal-exponential spiral), slide-cutting angles of the disc blade tip (SADBT, 30°, 40°, 50°, and 60°), rotational speed of the Y-type blade (RSYB, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000, 2200, and 2400 rpm), and transmission ratio between Y-type and disc blades (TRYDB, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.0). The chopping process was divided into the cutting processes of the initial rind, rind and pith, final rind, and stalk end. The results showed that the SADBT, TRYDB, and RSYB had significant effects on the PBFR, PBFS, ECSC, and ETE. The most influential factor on all test indices was the TRYDB. The RSYB positively affected the PBFR, PBFS, and ECSC. The growth rates of the PBFR, PBFS, and ECSC increased with the TRYDB. The maximum PBFR, PBFS, and ETE values were obtained under an SADBT of 60°, and the maximum ECSC value was obtained under an SADBT of 40°. The difference in energy consumption between the field validation experiment and simulation was less than 10%, which proved the correct results of the FEM simulation.

The influence of the frame structure’s deformation of the automatic hydraulic tile press on energy consumption has long been neglected. In this paper, a case study in two common beam-column types hydraulic automatic tile press, get the deformations of the columns produced by the tensile by using the finite element method, and then calculate their energy consumption due to deformations. Through analysis and comparison, provide a reference for future design and selection of the hydraulic automatic tile press.

The energy performance of buildings represents a major challenge in terms of sustainable development. The buildings and buildings construction sectors combined are responsible for over one-third of global final energy consumption and nearly 40% of total direct and indirect CO2 emissions. In order to reduce the energy consumption of buildings and their harmful impact on the environment, special attention has been paid in recent years to the use of bio-based materials. In the present paper, a model of heat and moisture transfer hollow hemp concrete wall is proposed using finite element method. The energy and mass balances are expressed using measurable transfer drivers as temperature water content and vapor pressure and coefficients related explicitly to the macroscopic properties of material as thermal conductivity, specific heat, and water vapor permeability. The proposed model is implemented in MATLAB code and validated through experimental measurements.

The brick façades are one of the most used façades in the current architecture. This typology is used during centuries, but still relevant today. The conventional way to build a brick façade is supporting the outer sheet on the slabs of the building. In buildings with these conventional façades have appeared stability, insulation and sealing problems.The self-supporting façade appears to solve these problems easily. This type of façade can solve more easily thermal bridges in buildings, which is an optimization of energy consumption. To resist horizontal forces façades need anchors between the two sheets or between the outer sheet and the structure. The current standards in Spain do not define the arrangement of the anchorages between the exterior sheet and the inner sheet of the enclosure. This paper studies the influence of the inner sheet in self-supporting façades. The transmission of horizontal forces between the two sheets of the façade is analyzed in detail, in order to check whether the inner sheet assists in the stability of the outer sheet. Different models of façade have been simulated to compare their results using the finite element method.
