Assessing fire dynamics and suppression techniques in electric vehicles at different states of charge: Implications for maritime safety

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
The maritime transportation of electric vehicles (EVs) poses significant fire risks due to the potential for thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries, particularly when the state of charge (SOC) varies.

Hidden Heat Before Flames: Multispectral Deep Learning for Early Warning of Concealed Fire Hazards in Insulated Structures

Fire
Concealed fires within the insulation layers of buildings, such as cold storage facilities and cinemas, present a serious fire hazard because heat generated by electrical faults can accumulate behind protective panels before ignition and then spread ...
