1/1/2012 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the results of recent experiments comparing results from using the BELT and the large-scale tests for six different belts.
-
5/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper discusses the impact of ventilation airflow on alarm times of the smoke detectors and video cameras, CO levels, smoke optical densities and smoke obscuration, total smoke mass concentrations, and fire heat release rates.
-
1/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper describes the production of high-expansion firefighting foam and discusses the in-mine experimental tests and results.
-
6/1/2010 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper provides a summary of work done in a study on fires and explosions in underground U.S. coal mines that were caused by flame cutting and welding operations to determine the root causes of these types of fires and explosions.
-
3/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article is a review of recent accidents involving explosives transport both in the United States and outside of the United States.
-
4/1/2018 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article about what happens when combustible materials ignite and burn. During the processes of ignition and flaming, other life hazards present themselves and should be included to ensure an effective overall analysis of the relevant fire hazards.
-
6/1/2016 - Peer reviewed journal articlesAn article describing NIOSH's mine fire simulation program, MFIRE, which is used as a standard for assessing and predicting the impact of a fire on the mine ventilation system and the spread of fire contaminants in coal and metal/nonmetal mines.
-
10/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH conducted a series of large-scale explosion experiments at the Lake Lynn Experimental Mine to investigate the inerting effect of limestone rock dust. Post-explosion dust residue samples were analyzed to infer flame travel.
-
9/1/2011 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA modified semi-empirical equation based on large-scale experiments conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) was developed to quantify smoke rollback during an underground mine fire.
-
11/1/2009 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis paper answers the following research question: Can a VR system be used in a mine safety training environment to teach evacuation procedures, provide simulated experience, and measure performance?
