Wind Effects on Flame Spread and Ember Spotting Near a Structure

February 6, 2017
Author(s)
Kathryn M. Butler, Erik L. Johnsson, Marco G. Fernandez, Mariusz Zarzecki, Glenn P. Forney, Eric Auth
In wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires, combustible materials pose a potential threat to contiguous or nearby structures. Flame spread and firebrand spotting have been studied in a series of field experiments involving fences and mulch beds under a

Generating Wind-Driven Firebrand Showers Characteristic of Burning Structures

Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki
Firebrands are a significant source leading to structures ignited and lost in large outdoor fires, such as Wildland–Urban Interface (WUI) fires, a large international problem, and urban fires, common in Japan. Sadly, hardly any information is available

Impact of UV irradiation on multiwall carbon nanotubes in nanocomposites: formation of entangled surface layer and mechanisms of release resistance

January 31, 2017
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, Elijah J. Petersen, Bastien T. Pellegrin, Justin M. Gorham, Thomas F. Lam, Minhua Zhao, Li Piin Sung
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are increasingly used in consumer and structural polymeric products to enhance a variety of properties. Under weathering, the polymer matrix will degrade and the nanofillers will potentially be released from the products, which
