A new multizone airflow and contaminant dispersal model CONTAM93 is described, along with a demonstration of its application in a study of ventilation and...
This report summarizes the state of the art of simulation research and development in Japan. This summary is divided into three parts. In part one, we provide a...
Coordinate measuring systems (CMSs) determine dimensional (length) characteristics of mechanical parts by analyzing 3-dimensional point data acquired on part...
The composite materials of interest in this work contain several piles of long, high strength fibers, typically woven in some fixed pattern; the layered multi...
The mechanisms of inhibition premixed methane-air flames in the presence of difluoromethane, trifluoromethane, and tetrafluoromethane are studied. The chemistry...
The proposed replacements to halon 1301, mainly fluorinated and chlorinated hydrocarbons, are expected to be required in significantly higher concentrations...
The flammability properties of honeycomb composites, which are used in the interior cabin compartments of commercial aircraft, were examined. Analyses of the...
