The flammability properties of pure Nylon 6 and Nylon with nano-clay of 5 % are examined in this study, TGA/DSC data were obtained with a variety of heating rates. The decomposition rate was found from the analysis of TGA data ...

This study examines the types of hydrogen leaks that can support combustion and the effects on various materials of long term hydrogen flame exposure. Experimental and analytical work is presented. Measurements included limits of quenching, blowoff, and pilted ignition for ...

This paper presents an investigation of the structural response of a long span cellular beam with varying section geometries while subject to various temperature-time curves. This type of beam is under investigation, in part, because of its increased use in ...

Many studies have addressed fires in tunnels. For the most part, these previous studies have addressed fires that might occur during operation of the tunnel, when the tunnel has openings at both ends. During construction of a tunnel, the tunnel ...

Halogenated flame retardant plastic sheeting may help to reduce flame spread in museums; however, the plastics contain chemicals that may be harmful to museum objects in situ, particularly metals. This study assesses historical and contemporary problems and benefits associated with ...
