Mechanism of Intensive Gas and Fluid Mixture in the Process of Vibroturbulization and Its Technological Applications
Abstract: Previously conducted experimental studies have established that in a certain narrow frequency range and upon reaching a certain value of the amplitude of water oscillations in a sealed vessel with above-water air shell, subjected to vertical vibration, a resonant phenomenon occurs, called “vibroturbulization”, leading to intensive mixing of media of different density. The studies carried out were purely experimental in nature and could not reveal the physicochemical mechanism of occurrence, …

Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Hollow Bricks Incorporating Aerated Aggregates: A Polymer-Cement Composite Approach
Abstract: The rapid advancement of construction technologies has necessitated the development of lightweight, thermally efficient, and sustainable building materials. Hollow bricks, due to their inherent voids, offer substantial reductions in dead load and enhanced insulation properties. However, their mechanical performance often falls short when compared to conventional solid bricks. To address this limitation, this study explores the synergistic integration of aerated aggregates and polymer-cement composites (PCCs) in hollow brick production. Aerated …
