title = "Thermo-mechanical responses of flame-retarded fibre reinforced composites after exposure to convective and radiative heat",
abstract = "This paper reports the thermal stability, fire resistance and effect of convective and radiative heat on residual mechanical performance of flame retardant fibre-reinforced epoxy composites. Kinetic and heat transfer models are used to predict mass loss during cone experiments. Mass loss due to thermal decomposition of the resin has been seen to be related to loss of mechanical properties after heat exposure.",
