Abstract
This second quarterly report covers the work performed from April 1, 1971 through June 30, 1971, on the portion of the analytical and experimental program which is carried out at the Georgia Institute of Technology under sponsorship by the Government-Industry Research Committee on Flammable Fabrics. The objective is to predict the ignition time of fabrics on the basis of their properties and prescribed exposure conditions, for the purpose of assessing the probability of ignition for a given exposure.
