EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF A PRESSURIZED VESSEL EXPOSED TO FIRES: AN INNOVATIVE REPRESENTATIVE SCALE APPARATUS

One of the most critical safety issues concerning the transportation and the distribution of hazardous materials, is the possible occurrence of accidental fires affecting transport vessels, leading to the heat up and consequent failure with catastrophic effects.Therefore, since the early seventies, numerous field studies and laboratory scale tests

Abstract In this paper, we study a possibility where gravity and time emerge from quantum matter.Within the Hilbert space of matter fields defined on a spatial manifold, we consider a sub-Hilbert space spanned by states which are parameterized by spatial metric.In those states, metric is introduced as a collective variable that controls local struc
