Impact behaviour of preloaded glass/polyester woven plates

COLLAPSE BEHAVIOUR OF PLATES UNDER THRUST

In line with the current research on the ultimate strength assessment of ship hull girders, careful understanding of the collapse behaviour of unstiffened plate elements within the ship hull girders is an important and necessary task. In this paper, the collapse behaviour of unstiffened plates under longitudinal and transverse thrust is studied by elastoplastic large deflection FEM and the char...

The Low Velocity Impact Behaviour of Glass-Polymer Laminated Plates

Filtration behaviour of woven and nonwoven fabrics

The filtration behaviour of woven and nonwoven fabrics at different air flow rate, dust feed rate, dust loading, time intervals and dust particles has been studied. It is observed that the pressure drop increases with the increase in airflow rate for both the woven and nonwoven filters. In general, the pressure drop in case of woven filter is found to be higher than that in case of nonwoven fil...

Microfluidic cartridges preloaded with nanoliter plugs of reagents: an alternative to 96-well plates for screening.

In traditional screening with 96-well plates, microliters of substrates are consumed for each reaction. Further miniaturization is limited by the special equipment and techniques required to dispense nanoliter volumes of fluid. Plug-based microfluidics confines reagents in nanoliter plugs (droplets surrounded by fluorinated carrier fluid), and uses simple pumps to control the flow of plugs. By ...

Impact Damage in Woven Fabric Reinforced Composites

INTRODUCTION Very often, woven fabrics are used as the reinforcement in advanced composite materials. Although the resulting inplane stiffness is lower than of their unidirectional counterparts, the excellent drapability of these materials eases the production of more general doubly curved components. In addition, the inherently low out-of-plane strength of these layered materials improves due ...
