PVT Clean Energy has been selected for the 2023 SBIR Phase I award from the USDA NIFA
The PVT team has been selected to work with the US Department of Agriculture on a solar-geothermal greenhouse as part of the long-term plan for use of renewable energy sources for plant production. This project studies a proposed greenhouse that utilizes solar panels coupled with geothermal energy for the dual synergetic benefits of: 1) improved… Continue reading PVT Clean Energy has been selected for the 2023 SBIR Phase I award from the USDA NIFA
Recent paper published on the behavior of packed cylinders with wrapping force
Effect of Wrapping Force on the Effective Elastic Behavior of Packed Cylinders When cylinders are packed and wrapped by the bands around the surface, the effective elastic behavior in the cross section of the assembly, which is of significance to its stability and integrity, can be controlled by the wrapping force in the band. The… Continue reading Recent paper published on the behavior of packed cylinders with wrapping force
New Patent on Tailored Lightweight Structures
A new patent on “Tailoring Thermoelastic Constants of Cellular and Lattice Materials with Pre-Stress for Lightweight Structures” has been filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as well as The International Patent System. In this study, a unique behavior of lattice-based materials has been discovered that leads to tailored stiffness and thermoelasticity of composites.… Continue reading New Patent on Tailored Lightweight Structures
