- composite materials | combustion | damage | polyesters | fire tests | vinylester | fire damage | glass fibers | heat flux | mass loss | ignition
- Identifiers
- Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP); composite panel details; exposure to a fuel fire of controlled duration; parameters derived from the analysis of mass loss data supporting the supposition that isothermal processes are involved in the burning of these materials; comparison of mass loss of composite with that of resin (averaged over all fluxes)
