The application of the complete model to underground pipeline ruptures has been made possible by the development of a crater source sub-model which provides suitable input parameters to the fire structure calculation.
Living neurons are sometimes called "integrate-and-fire" structures.
Environmental conditions also predicted a substantial portion of forest structure following one and two fires, even though the post-fire forest structures were substantially different than pre-fire structures.
This suggests a feedback mechanism in which local fire regimes and pre-fire forest structures are related to local environments, and their interaction produces post-fire structures also related to local environments.
In this regard, the microstructure of all fired structures has been investigated.
The fire-structure simulation model was successfully applied to model the fire-thermal-structural behaviors in two localized fire tests on a real-scale steel beam recently conducted at the National Fire Research Laboratory (NFRL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology NISTT).
Useful results relevant to fire-structure interaction and the validation of simplified models, are presented.
We describe the post-fire structure of residual maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait).
Different layer designs have been developed in order to obtain a homogeneous fired structure with locally delaminated interfaces, which are expected to improve the thermal shock behavior.
We found manageable factors such as the pre-fire structure and composition of the vegetation strongly determine the occurrence of post-fire regeneration trajectories dominated by tree species regeneration.
