  1. 1. Suppression of Li-ion Battery Fires

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Linfan Cai; [2023]
    Keywords : Lithium-ion Battery; Fire Suppression System; Extinguishing Agent; Thermal Runaway; Battery Energy Storage System; Electric Vehicle; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a systematic literature review of fixed fire suppression systems and extinguishing agents for lithium-ion battery (LIB) fires. The review identifies 85 relevant sources published between 2013 and March 2023, and categorises different research experiments into cell-level, module-level, electric vehicle (EV) pack-level, battery energy storage system (BESS) rack-level and warehouse storage experiments, according to LIB configurations.

  3. 2. Modular and Flexible Payload Arrangement : With Reconfigurable Floors and Sliding Bulkheads

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Liban Mohamed Hassan; Haris Hodzic; [2021]
    Keywords : Trendwatching; DNV-GL; Parametric CAD; Concept development; Cargo management;

    Abstract : Background The shipbuilding trends have changed from being single purpose ships only to using modular and flexible parts or systems to carry out multiple missions with as few ships as possible to minimize the ecological and economic impact. A flotilla can become smaller by having multiple ships capable of carrying out various missions instead of single-purpose ships. READ MORE

  4. 3. Product development of a fire hose basket that promotes ergonomics for firefighters

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Moa Rask; [2018]
    Keywords : Hose basket; product development; ergonomics; fire fighter; fire rescue;

    Abstract : This report comprises a product development of an ergonomically designed hose basket that can be used by the firefighters when storing or carrying a fire hose. A study on ergonomics in the profession as a firefighter conducted by the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) showed that fire hose deployment was very physically exhausting. READ MORE

  5. 4. Study of glue-laminated timber connections with high fire resistance using expanded steel tubes

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : David Ronstad; Niklas Ek; [2018]
    Keywords : Expanded steel tubes; Glue-laminated timber; Fire resistance; Glue-laminated timber connection; Expanderade ståltuber; Limträ; Brandmotstånd; Limträförband;

    Abstract : A key factor regarding fire safety of timber buildings is the performance of connections between the structural elements, since this determines the load-carrying capacity of the structure. Traditional timber connections do generally perform poorly in a fire compared to surrounding parts since the joints often consist of exposed metal parts and cavities which locally decreases the fire resistance.

  6. 5. The effects of fatigue during deep metro evacuations and its implications on evacuation modelling tools

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Alejandra Velasco; [2018]
    Keywords : stair-ascent evacuation; stair evacuation modelling; stairs; physiology; fire safety engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The thesis purpose is to determine how people’s evacuation performance is affected by carrying weight while performing a stair-climbing motion. The fire safety engineering and physiology fields are merged to increase the knowledge regarding ascending evacuation. READ MORE
