Network Aggregation of CNTs at the Surface of Epoxy/MWCNT Composite Exposed to UV Radiation

March 18, 2009

Author(s)

Tinh Nguyen, Bastien T. Pellegrin, Alexander J. Shapiro, Xiaohong Gu, Joannie W. Chin

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are increasingly incorporated in polymers to enhance their mechanical and electrical properties. However, organic polymers are prone to degrade when exposed to UV radiation. Therefore, CNTs in a polymer nanocomposite could

DEVELOPING RAPID RESPONSE INSTRUMENTATION PACKAGES TO QUANTIFY STRUCTURE IGNITION MECHANISMS IN WILDLAND-URBAN INTERFACE (WUI) FIRES

March 17, 2009

Author(s)

Samuel L. Manzello, Seul-Hyun Park, Thomas G. Cleary, John R. Shields

Rapidly deployable instrumentation packages are being developed to be used during actual WUI fires to quantify structure ignition mechanisms. The packages are being designed to be placed near a given structure in the WUI and will provide video imaging of a

FIREBRAND ATTACK ON CERAMIC TILE ROOFING ASSEMBLIES

March 17, 2009

Author(s)

Samuel L. Manzello, Yoshihiko Hayashi, Takefumi Yoneki, Yu Yamamoto

The present study is concerned with investigating the ignition of ceramic roofing assembles (Spanish tile roofing) to a controlled firebrand attack using the Firebrand Generator. Current standards exist to test ignition of roofing decks to firebrands by

Determination of Montmorillonite Nanocomposite Aggregation Rates Using Real Time X-Ray Diffraction Techniques at High Temperatures NIST GCR 09-924

March 12, 2009

Author(s)

Holly Stretz

The current work explored how choice of surfactant, fire temperature and processing pressure affect the assembly process for particles in the barrier layer. The underlying assumption was that the nano-structure of the ceramic portion of the barrier layer

Kinetics and Mechanisms of Elementary Reactive Processes in Polymer Pyrolysis. NIST GCR 09-923

March 9, 2009

Author(s)

Vadim D. Knyazev

Polymer backbone scission reactions were studied computationally using polyethylene macromolecules as prototypes. Classical RRKM modeling, molecular dynamics, transition state theory, and molecular mechanics were used as research tools. The results

Evaluation of Image Quality of Thermal Imagers used by the Fire Service

February 27, 2009

Author(s)

Francine K. Amon, Andrew J. Lock

This document reports on the test results of an evaluation of the image quality of thermal imaging cameras used by the fire service. The test methods used were consistent with the image quality test methods included in Draft National Fire Protection

Best Practice Guidelines for Structural Fire Resistance Design of Concrete and Steel Structures DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT (for Final Version see NIST TN 1681)

February 4, 2009

Author(s)

Long T. Phan

** DRAFT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT (for Final Version see NIST TN 1681) ** This document is intended to provide practicing engineers and building code officials with a technical resource that contains the current best practice for fire-resistant design of

Algorithms for Generating Large Sets of Synthetic Directional Wind Speed Data for Hurricane, Thunderstrom, and Synoptic Winds

February 2, 2009

Author(s)

Mircea D. Grigoriu

Probabilistic models are developed for directional wind speeds in hurricane, thunderstorm, and synoptic wind storms. The models, calibrated to data, are used to generate synthetic directional wind speeds over periods of arbitrary length and to assess the

Extinguishment of Methane Diffusion Flames by Carbon Dioxide in Coflow Air and Oxygen-Enriched Microgravity Environments

February 2, 2009

Author(s)

F Takahashi, Gregory T. Linteris

Microgravity experiments and computations have been conducted to elucidate stabilization and extinguishment mechanisms of methane diffusion flames, in the cup-burner configuration, with CO 2 added gradually to a coflowing air or oxygen-enriched stream. The

High-Rise Database-Assisted Design 1.1 (HR_DAD_1.1): Concepts, Software, and Examples

February 2, 2009

Author(s)

Seymour M. Spence

This report documents the changes that have been made to the previous structure of the HR_DAD software, thereby developing the program HR_DAD_1.1 capable of calculating efficiently the response of large scale real world tall buildings made up of many

Radiation Transport Measurements in Methanol Pool Fires with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. NIST GCR 09-922

February 2, 2009

Author(s)

Aykut Yilmaz

Pool fires are buoyancy-driven diffusion flames fed by the vaporization of a horizontally aligned, condensed-phase fuel. Volatile liquids and solids can serve as fuels for pool fires. The characteristic length of a pool fire is the pool diameter, d. This

Mixture Fraction Analysis of Combustion Products in the Upper Layer of Reduced-Scaled Compartment Fire

February 1, 2009

Author(s)

Gwon Ko, Anthony Hamins, Matthew Bundy, Erik L. Johnsson, Sung C. Kim, David Lenhert

A mixture fraction analysis is performed to investigate the characteristics of chemical species production in smoky compartment fires burning condensed-phase hydrocarbon fuels. A series of fire experiments were conducted in a 2/5 scale compartment based on
