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...

Many practical systems in physics, biology, engineering and information science exhibit impulsive dynamical behaviors due to abrupt changes at certain instants during the dynamical processes. The problems of finite-time stability analysis are investigated for a class of Markovian switching stochasti...

An efficient algorithm is proposed for computing the solution to the constrained finite time optimal control (CFTOC) problem for discrete-time piecewise affine (PWA) systems with a quadratic performance index. The maximal positively invariant terminal set, which is feasible and invariant with respec...
