Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the emerging fire safety concerns raised by the incorporation of increased amounts of combustible materials in passenger rail vehicles. Conducted by the Center for Fire Research under the sponsorship of the Federal Railroad Administration, the study comprises three main sections. The first is a series of laboratory-scale experiments on the flammability and smoke emission characteristics of materials used in rail car interiors. The second is a set of full-scale calorimeter tests on seat assemblies to compare their contribution to a developing fire. The third is a series of eight full-scale fire tests on mock-ups of the interior of rail cars to assess their potential for fire within a fully furnished vehicle. A comparison of the results of the small-scale laboratory tests with the full-scale mock-up tests are included, with areas of particular interest being the comparison of seating materials, the changes in burning behavior due to changes in geometry, and the adequacy of existing flammability guidelines. The book concludes that the burning behavior of the fully furnished mock-ups is critically dependent upon the geometry of the interior and the interaction of materials during the full-scale mock-up tests, emphasizing the importance of considering the system design and material interaction when assessing the individual fire performance of a material.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critical literature review of wire and cable testing methods employed for reaction-to-fire tests. The author, a renowned expert in fire protection engineering, meticulously examines standard test methods, bench-scale studies, and real-scale projects to provide a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of these testing methodologies. The book delves into the historical context and scientific basis of various test methods, exploring their strengths and shortcomings in assessing the fire performance of wire and cables. It critically evaluates the effectiveness of traditional flame spread and ignitability tests, shedding light on the limitations of these approaches. The author emphasizes the importance of heat release rate (HRR) measurements in modern fire hazard analysis and discusses emerging techniques such as scenario-based modeling for predicting fire hazards. This book offers valuable insights into the ongoing shift from pass/fail testing to more sophisticated engineering-based methods for assessing fire safety. It highlights the need for a holistic approach that considers the entire context of wire and cable end use, leading to more accurate and reliable fire performance evaluations.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces SPEED2, an accessible computer program for the analysis of automatically recorded data. It walks users through the reduction of data from automatic data acquisition systems. The program is a generalized system capable of accepting data from various data acquisition systems, checking the correctness of data, transforming analog instrument readings into standard units through linear or nonlinear transformations, and presenting data in tabular, printer plot, or ink pen plot form. The user need only know programming language and executive system control language for the computer they use. The first section of this book describes and instructs the reader on how to use SPEED2. The second section contains sample runs and examples that demonstrate SPEED2's use. The book is an excellent tool for scientists wanting to analyze experimental data composed of readings from instruments.
