Influence of reinforcement effect on mechanical properties of banana bio fiber polyester has been investigated. Three different type of weaving patterns such as plain, basket and twill banana fabric were used to analyze the mechanical properties of composites. Results revealed that composite with basket weaving style enhances the properties of composite material compared to other two patterns. ...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays are providing an increasing fraction of global electrical demand, with an accelerating rate of new installations. Most of these employ conventional glass-fronted panels, but this type of PV array does not satisfy applications that require a light-weight, flexible PV generator. An option discussed in this article is to consider textiles for such solar cell substrat...

In this paper the mechanical behavior of woven materials is investigated in order to study and predict their dynamic draping. This model can simulate fabric deformation, taking into account its physical and mechanical properties. Once the model is tested and validated, an artificial neural network designed to train fabric drape is coupled with the finite element model to predict the drape behav...

Nano-ZnO was prepared by direct precipitation method with zinc chloride and sodium carbonate anhydrous as raw materials, and its particle size and dispersion were characterized by TEM. The effects of concentration and the ratio of reactants and reaction temperature on its dispersion in aqueous solution were analyzed and the best reaction conditions were as follows: reaction temperature 60 , ult...

The present paper is concerned with modelling damage and fracture in notched woven fabric composites. Previous experimental work has shown that, under tensile loading, damage at a notch in a variety of GFRP and CFRP composites based on woven fabric reinforcement comprises matrix damage and fibre tow fracture along the plane of maximum stress. It is these experimental observations that inform th...

An approach for the intelligent determination of the appeared wrinkles in the robotized handling of non-rigid materials such as fabrics is presented. A machine vision system reads the wrinkles and a robotic manipulator controller is used to eliminate the wrinkles of a fabric. The machine vision system is used in order to capture an image of the wrinkled or wrinkle-free fabric. The direction of ...
