Development of a Comprehensive Pyrolysis Model for Flexible Polyurethane Foam
(2021)Flexible polyurethane foams (FPUFs) are polymeric materials which have widespread use and present a large fire risk in modern society. Accurate prediction of their fire behavior is valuable for assessing the risk they pose ... -
Determining Available Safe Egress Time Using a Variable Fractional Effective Dosage Analysis of Heat and Asphyxiant Gases In Single-Story Occupancies
(2021)The objective of this project is to determine available safe egress time in a single-story occupancy using a fractional effective dosage analysis with variable exposure for fast and slow growth fire scenarios. Required ... -
EVALUATION OF IMPACT OF NOVEL BARRIER COATINGS ON FLAMMABILITY OF A STRUCTURAL AEROSPACE COMPOSITE THROUGH EXPERIMENTS AND MODELING
(2021)Composites have become a integral part of the structure of airplanes, and their use within aircraft continues to grow as composites continue to improve. While polymer composites are an improvement in many facets to traditional ... -
PYROLYSIS MODELING AND MATERIAL PROPERTY VALIDATION WITH FLAME HEAT FEEDBACK MODEL APPLICATION
(2021)Materials used in the built environment specially in upholstered furniture in business and residential occupancies act as primary fuel load in fires. This is a cause of concern not only for the building developers but for ... -
Simulations of Fire Smoke Movement in High-rise Buildings with FDS
(2021)The Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) solves a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed (Ma < 0.3), thermally-driven flow with an ...
