Modelling of Textile Composite Adapted for Roof Structure
Journal Title: Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 5
Abstract
3D structural components made of fibrous composite materials subjected to service loading are analysed. The laminate consists of a matrix reinforced with a ply of long and unidirectional fibres. Participation of the fibres and matrix can vary in each layer. The main goal is to create a composite roof plate transferring variable loads of wet snow or fir and to investigate its strength properties in respect of (i) the type of fibres and matrix, and (ii) the volume fraction of the matrix and fibres within each layer. Modelling of shape and mechanical properties is reduced to the final phase of structural design, omitting time-consuming, expensive experimental tests. The numerical procedure is solved using the ADINA environment and finite element method code.<br/><br/>

Definition of Mass Spring Parameters for Knitted Fabric Simulation Using the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm
The 3D simulation of fabrics is an interesting issue in many fields, such as computer engineering, textile engineering, cloth design and so on. Several methods have been presented for fabric simulation. The mass spring m...
Attempt to Apply Surface-Conductive PAN as a Precursor for aPAN Ionic Electroactive Polymer Gel Fabrication
Chemically activated polyacrylonitrile (aPAN) displays ionic electro-mechanically active polymer properties. Thin, gel-like fibre is a technically feasible form of aPAN, as it quickly shrinks or swells in response to a v...
