Abstract

A fire resistance test, as performed on plates of carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites, is conceptually analogous to a step heating, and can be modelled by the one-dimensional heat equation. Thus modelled, the plate operates as a linear system with an impulse response function that relates temperatures at the front face (the one exposed to fire) and the rear face, and depends on two parameters, namely thermal diffusivity ...
