Numerical Analysis of Energy Absorption Mechanism in Multi-ply Fabric Impacts
Jul 01, 2008; Joo, Kiho; Kang, Tae Jin ... Abstract The energy analysis method was employed for the understanding of impact behavior of multi-ply plain-woven fabric considering the energy of a projectile. A three-element viscoelastic model was used to describe the dynamic behavior of fibers. Yarn slippage on the warp-weft crossover ...
Basic Studies for Modeling Complex Weft Knitted Fabric Structures Part V: Geometrical Modeling of Tuck Stitches
Jul 01, 2008; Kurbak, Arif; Kayacan, Ozlem ... Abstract In this work the geometrical model of a tuck stitch and its effect on the plain knitted fabric structure are introduced. The geometrical model of this knit + tuck combination is created here for the first time, being a pioneering basic work on knit + tuck combinations. This model is ...
Simple and Inexpensive Preparation of Long-lasting Insecticidal Nets Via Co-adsorption of Pyrethroid and Oligomer
Jul 01, 2008; Zhuang, Fei; Chittur, Krishnan K; Hayes, Douglas G; Mount, Dwight L; Smith, Stephen C ... Abstract Insecticide-treated bed nets, or Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs), are valuable tools in the effort to control mosquitoes (Anopheles gambiae), the carriers of the malaria parasite, in Africa. Insecticide (pyrethroid) is retained by LLINs when subjected to washing, which allows for ...
Moisture Transport and Absorption in Multilayer Protective Clothing Fabrics
Jul 01, 2008; Keiser, Corinne; Becker, Cordula; Rossi, Rene M ... Abstract The distribution of moisture in state-of-the-art firefighter protective clothing was analyzed on a sweating torso. After one hour of sweating, only 35 % of moisture evaporated from the layers, but after another hour of drying out, only about 10 % of the supplied moisture remained in the ...
Development of Needle-punched Nonwoven Fabrics from Flax Fibers for Air Filtration Applications
Jul 01, 2008; Anandjiwala, Rajesh D; Boguslavsky, Lydia ... Abstract This paper reports an exploratory study on the production and measurement of the air permeability, mechanical properties, pore size distribution and filtration efficiency of different nonwoven fabrics produced by systematically changing the machine variables to influence the physical ...
Crystalline Character of Agave americana L. Fibers
Jul 01, 2008; Oudiani, Asma El; Chaabouni, Yassine; Msahli, Slah; Sakli, Faouzi ... Abstract The crystalline character of Agave americana L. fibers and its relationship with mechanical properties were studied. Comparative investigations between three different types of fiber extraction were made: raw fibers, distilled water extracted fibers and seawater extracted fibers. A wide ...
Visual Masking Performance of a Fabric
Jul 01, 2008; Chen, Mei-yu; Sun, Run-jun; Dong, Xu-ye; Lai, Kan ... Abstract In this study, we investigated the main factors affecting the visual masking performance of a fabric, including the illumination level of the target, the cover factor of the fabric, the distance between the fabric and the target, and the illumination level of the fabric. It was found ...
Enabling Technologies for Electrical Circuits on a Woven Monofilament Hybrid Fabric
Jul 01, 2008; Locher, Ivo; Tröster, Gerhard ... Abstract Electronic Fabrics is an emerging topic in the field of Smart Textiles. This paper discusses potential technologies to embed electronic circuits into fabrics. Our approach focused on a woven fabric with unobtrusively embedded copper wires that guaranteed usual wearing comfort ....
Production of Thermal Insulation Composites Containing Bamboo Charcoal
Jul 01, 2008; Lin, C M; Chang, C W ... Abstract Currently, various products containing bamboo charcoal are popular. In this study, thermal insulation composites were manufactured with PET non-woven fabrics and bamboo charcoal woven fabrics. Bamboo charcoal can radiate far infrared rays and absorb smells, so it is used for textiles, ...
