Straw fiber seedling pots are a promising substitute for plastic seedling pots. The mixing mode of straw fiber affects the mechanical properties of the raw material membrane of the seedling pot. To explore the processing technology of making the raw material membrane of the seedling pot with two kinds of plant fibers in a layered manner, the optimal combination of the process parameters of the raw material membrane of the seedling pot without additives in the production process was studied experimentally.

Abstract:
The use of natural fibers has a great interest due to their damping properties, low density and moderate strength. The effect of incorporating chopped natural fibers, as disperse reinforced phase, on the dynamic or quasi-static elastic modulus of glass fiber laminates is presented. Squares of 32 cm2 plain wave glass fiber prepreg with epoxy resin were used in a stacking sequence [0]4. Short length chopped (1-3 mm) natural coir fiber was placed in between of each glass fiber prepreg sheet (4) and laminates were prepared by the vacuum bag technique. The volume fraction of natural fiber was 30% (

Abstract:
In this paper, the influence of damage and deformation on the electrical property of carbon fibers in the hat-shaped 3D orthogonal woven fabric-reinforced composite structure is studied. A method of producing parallel sensor arrays was proposed, in which the warp yarns made of carbon fibers were separated by isolated Kevlar fibers as weft yarns and Z-yarns. The sensor array unitized the self-sensing property of carbon fiber and could detect the damage and deformation distribution along the transverse direction of the composite under bending tests. Both the experiments and simulations had been

Abstract:
Z-pinning can significantly improve the interlaminar shear properties of carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (Cf/Al). However, the effect of the metal z-pin on the in-plane properties of Cf/Al is unclear. This study examines the effect of the z-pin on the flexural strength and failure mechanism of Cf/Al composites with different volume contents and diameters of the z-pins. The introduction of a z-pin leads to the formation of a brittle phase at the z-pin/matrix interface and microstructural damage such as aluminum-rich pockets and carbon fiber waviness, thereby resulting in a re

The aim of this work is to investigate the fracture toughness and deformation of silk fiber (SF)-reinforced zeolite (Z)/high density polyathylene (HDPE) composites. The chopped SFs are arranged in the thickness middle of the dry mixture of Z/HDPE powder that has been prepared in a mold. Composites were produced by the compression molding to produce double-edge notch tensile (DENT). The fracture toughness characterization was carried out based on essential work of fracture method. The results show that the presence of SF increased the essential fracture work even though the non-essential fractu

The aim of this study is to review three-dimensional (3D) fabrics and a critical review is especially provided on the development of multiaxis 3D woven preform structures and techniques. 3D preforms are classified based on various parameters depending on the fiber sets, fiber orientation and interlacements, and micro–meso unit cells and macro geometry. Biaxial and triaxial two-dimensional (2D) fabrics have been widely used as structural composite parts in various technical areas. However, they suffer delamination between their layers due to the lack of fibers. 3D woven fabrics have multiple la

Abstract:
The effects of reinforcement structures and hybrid types on the inter-laminar shear strength (ILSS) of carbon-glass hybrid fibers/bismaleimide composites under thermo-oxidative aging conditions were investigated. The process resulted in progressive deterioration of the matrix and fiber/matrix interfaces, in the form of chain scissions, weight loss, and fiber/matrix debonding, which significantly led to the decrease of the ILSS of composites. Moreover, the three-dimensional orthogonal woven hybrid composites (3D composites) showed higher ILSS retention rate than those of the laminated orthogona

Abstract:
α-Actinin-3 is a Z-disc structural protein found only in type II muscle fibers. The X allele of the R577X polymorphism in the ACTN3 gene results in a premature stop codon and α-actinin-3 deficiency in XX homozygotes. Associations between the R577X polymorphism and the muscle-power performance of elite athletes have been described earlier. About 45% of the fiber type proportions are determined by genetic factors. The ACTN3 variant could be one of the contributing genes in the heritability of fiber type distribution through its interaction with calcineurin. The aim of this study was to quantify

Abstract:
In melt blowing, microfibrous nonwoven material is manufactured by using high-speed air to attenuate polymer melt. The melt-blown air jet determines the process of polymer attenuation and fiber formation. In this work, the importance of lateral velocity on the fiber was first theoretical verified. The lateral diffused characteristic of the air flow field in slot-die melt blowing was researched by measuring the velocity direction using a dual-wire probe hot-wire anemometer. Meanwhile, the fiber path was captured by high-speed photography. Results showed that there existed a critical boundary of

Alumina-silicate inclusions (shot) have been found to adversely affect the mechanical properties of a short alumina-silicate fiber reinforced aluminum alloy (A356). To better understand the differences between the responses of the shot and fibers to applied loads, the Young’s modulus of the shot is measured and compared to that of the fibers. The Rayleigh wave speed in the shot particle (cross-sectional area of 200 μm × 150 μm), measured in situ to be 4041 m/s using a scanning acoustic microscope, was used to calculate the Young’s modulus of the shot particle (132 GPa).

By using the coupled thermos-mechanical method, a three-dimensional finite element model of composite was established during the curing process. The accuracy of the simulation model was validated by performing a comparison with the literature results. Based on the model, a three-dimensional finite element method is applied to conduct analysis of the effect exerted by the curing related parameters on residual stresses in the curing process for the Z-pin AS4/3501-6 composite. The results indicate that the resin stress and fiber Z-direction stress increase with the curing process, especially duri
