An Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Burner Height and Location on the Characteristics of Externally Venting Flames

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire sources in actual compartment fires exhibit a predominantly uneven spatial distribution. In this context, the impact of the height and location of the fire source, as well as the heat release rate (HRR) of the fire, on the thermal characteristics of Externally Venting Flames (EVF) is experimentally investigated.

Deprivation and Accidental Dwelling Fires in the Greater Manchester Area Between 2013–2014 and 2023–2024

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, the relationship between the level of deprivation, measured by the Indices of Multiple Deprivation decile (IMD decile) determined by the UK Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, and the number of different types of accidental dwelling fires (ADFs) in populations across the different IMD deciles is examined ...

Experimental Investigation of Burning Liquids in Reduced Oxygen

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effects of oxygen concentration on combustion of gases have been investigated on fundamental levels in several studies. However, the same type of fundamental studies has not been made for liquid or solid fuels due to complex relationships between flame structure and changing mass loss rates (MLR).

Recent advances in multifunctional soft robots: A materials–structures–systems co‐design perspective for synergistic integration

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft robots, engineered from highly compliant materials, offer superior adaptability and safety in unstructured environments compared to their rigid counterparts. Recent advancements, fueled by bio‐inspiration and material programmability, have led to the rapid co‐evolution of their core modules: actuation, sensing, protection, energy, and ...
