Fast Data Assimilation in Fire Tests of Steel Members


SC 98-33 Wolfgang Kühn, Manfred Korzen, Olaf Paetsch: Fast Data Assimilation in Fire Tests of Steel Members


Abstract: This report presents a fast data assimilation method to produce an interpolating time and space temperature distribution for steel members subject to fire testing. The method assimilates collected temperature data into the numerical integration of the heat equation. This physically based method also allows the computation of lateral and axial heat flux into and inside the member.
