Environmental Factors in Engineering
Research gap analysis derived from 2 engineering papers in our local library.
The gap
The impact of environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, moisture) on the performance and durability of engineered systems needs further investigation.
Consensus across the literature
Papers collectively highlight the need to consider environmental factors but do not address them comprehensively.
Research trend
Emerging — attention growing, methods still coalescing.
Supporting evidence — 2 representative gaps
- Parametric Evaluation of Mechanical and Surface Characteristics in FDM-Based 3D Printing (2026) · doi
The study did not explore interactions between process parameters or investigate the effects of environmental conditions (humidity, temperature) on the printed parts.
Keywords: explore interactions process parameters investigate effects environmental conditions humidity temperature printed parts - RiceShield: AI–IoT-Based Early Pest and Spoilage Prediction for Grain Storage (2026) · doi
Robustness testing under extreme environmental conditions (temperature extremes, humidity fluctuations, power failures) is not documented.
