This study presents a variational approach to couple PeriDynamic (PD) and Finite Element (FE) analyses take advantage of their salient features. The PD FE domains share the same nodes along interface without an overlap region any constraint conditions. Therefore, this does not require morphing or blending function that facilitates coupling over transition zone. Although is general limited comme...

This paper presents the energy characteristics of wood and wood-based materials in form commercially available pellets, furniture board (MDF) OSB. Toxicometric indices were determined for gaseous destructs arising from thermal decomposition combustion studied. The proves that conditions are crucial terms toxic destructive emissions. It has been shown under controlled can lead to equally low emi...

Abstract National Fire Protection Association standard 1403 provides the fire service with guidance for conducting effective live training goal of minimizing health and safety hazards. The document guidelines materials to be included in fuel package, but has raised questions about use specific types wood products this purpose. In study, dynamics generated when utilizing five different Class A t...
