Fiber Assembly - Structure and Mechanical Property-

Mechanical ventilation and elastic fiber assembly.

ELASTIN IS A CONSTITUENT of connective tissue that is present in virtually all vertebrate tissues and has an especially vital role in organs that undergo repeated cycles of extension and recoil such as the arteries, lungs, and skin. Elastic fibers consist of two morphologically distinct components, the microfibrils and polymerized tropoelastin. The current view is that elastin is secreted from ...

Mechanical Property Variables for formed fiber packaging

Introduction Cellulose fibers have unique properties that allow them to be used for a variety of products— from low-density cushioning to high-density structural products. Knowing what types of fibers and processing methods to use for each product application requires an understanding of potential properties. Historically this understanding has tended to be more an art than a science. The paper...

Fiber Alignment in Directed Carbon Fiber Preforms Mechanical Property Prediction

A finite element method is presented for predicting the mechanical performance of discontinuous fiber mesostructures typically produced by directed carbon fiber preforming. High-filament count bundles are modeled using beam elements to enable large representative volume elements to be studied. The beams are attached to a regular grid of 2D continuum elements, which represent the matrix material...

Mechanical Property and Structure of Covalent Functionalised Graphene/Epoxy Nanocomposites

Thermally reduced graphene nanoplatelets were covalently functionalised via Bingel reaction to improve their dispersion and interfacial bonding with an epoxy resin. Functionalised graphene were characterized by microscopic, thermal and spectroscopic techniques. Thermal analysis of functionalised graphene revealed a significantly higher thermal stability compared to graphene oxide. Inclusion of ...
