This test method is used primarily to determine the heat release rate of materials, products, and assemblies. Other parameters are the effective heat of combustion, mass loss rate, the time to ignition, smoke and gas production, emissivity, and surface temperature. Examples of test specimens...

1.1 This fire-test-response standard assesses the response of materials, products, and assemblies to controlled levels of radiant heat exposure with or without an external ignitor.

1.2 The fire-test-response characteristics determined by this test method include the...

Parallel calculational methods were used to analyze incompressible turbulent flow through hydraulic machinery. Two parallel methods were used to simulate mulate the complex flow field. The space decorrposition method divides vides the computational domain into several sub-ranges. Parallel discrete e...

A new faster block-matching algorithm (BMA) by using both search candidate and pixel subsampling is proposed. Firstly a pixel-subsampling approach used in adjustable partial distortion search (APDS) is adjusted to visit about half points of all search candidates by subsampling them, using a spiral-s...

A novel algorithm of global motion estimation is proposed. First, through Gabor wavelet transform (GWT), a kind of energy distribution of image is obtained and checkpoints are selected according to a probability decision approach proposed. Then, the initialized motion vectors are obtained via a hier...
