Abstract

A brief explanation of a finite element heat transfer method which can simulate fire testing of noncombustible materials is presented in this paper. This type of computer modeling can aid in obtaining more fire test information with less effort. Three computer models using this numerical technique are compared with actual fire tests. The models simulated fire tests on U.S. Navy bulkhead systems and non-load bearing wall systems.
