The main topic investigated in this paper is the effective measurement of the fabric friction property by the comprehensive handle evaluation system for fabrics and yarns (CHES-FY). The optimal system parameters of the CHES-FY were determined using an orthogonal experiment design based on the correlations between four curve parameters from the pulling-out force – the displacement curve of the CHES-FY and the friction coefficient tested by the Kawabata evaluation system for fabric surface tester. The repeatability and stability of the CHES-FY under settings of optimal system parameters were also analyzed. Moreover, the four curve parameters were used to cluster the smoothness/roughness handle of fabrics objectively by the k-means cluster method, and the clustering results of the k-means cluster method were compared with those of the subjective cluster method. Analysis of the results showed that the selected optimal system parameters were a good combination, and the CHES-FY with the optimal system parameters provided an effective and reliable evaluation to the friction coefficient and smoothness/roughness handle of fabrics.

Measurement methods based on the visual testing principle have been widely used for evaluating the wrinkle recovery property of fabrics; however, the cumbersome testing process and poor adaptability for various fabrics are the main shortcomings of these methods. Here, a facile mechanical testing method named the integrated shape retention evaluation system (ISRES) was developed, providing an alternative approach to assess the wrinkle recovery, as well as the compression recovery and elastic recovery of fabrics. The optimal system parameters of the ISRES in measuring the wrinkle recovery angle were determined using an orthogonal experiment design based on correlation analysis between the curve parameters from the force–displacement curves of the ISRES and the wrinkle recovery angles tested by a standard Shirley crease recovery tester. Moreover, the sensitivity of the ISRES for the differences of the wrinkle recovery of fabrics was analyzed. The results showed that the selected optimal system parameters were a good combination, and the ISRES with the optimal system parameters provided a feasible method to differentiate the wrinkle recovery of fabrics.

Purpose Fabric-object friction force is a fundamental factor in cloth simulation. A large number of parameters influence the frictional properties of fabrics such as fabric structure, yarn structure, and inherent properties of component fibers. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel technique for modeling fabric-object friction force in knitted fabric simulation based on the mass spring model. Design/methodology/approach In this technique, unlike other studies, distribution of friction coefficient over the fabric surface is not uniform and depends on the fabric structure. The main reason for considering non-uniform distribution is that in various segments of fabric, contact percent of fabric-object is different. Findings The proposed technique and common methods based on friction coefficient uniform distribution are used to simulate the frictional behavior of knitted fabrics. The results show that simulation error values for proposed technique and common methods are 2.7 and 9.4 percent as compared with the experimental result, respectively. Originality/value In the existing methods of the friction force modeling, the friction coefficient of fabric is assumed uniform. But this assumption is not correct because fabric does not have an isotropic structure. Thus in this study, the friction coefficient distribution is considered based on fabric structure to achieve more of realistic simulations.

The conservation and characterization of grape (Vitis spp) genetic resources in germplasm banks have been the basis of its use in breeding programs that result in development of new cultivars. There are at least 10,000 grape cultivars kept in germplasm collection. The genetic diversity in 136 table grape accessions from the state of Bahia, Brazil, was evaluated. Continuous and discrete morphoagronomic traits were assessed. The clustering analysis by the Tocher otimization method resulted in 30 clusters (considering continuous morphoagronomic traits), and 9 clusters (taking into consideration multicategorical traits). There was no agreement between clusters obtained by both, continuous or discrete phenotypic descriptors, independent of the cluster method analysis used. A satisfactory genetic variability among the table grape accessions was observed.

The hydraulic bulging technology of tubes can provide hollow parts with special-shaped cross sections. Its manufacturing process can effectively improve material utilization and product accuracy and reduce the number and cost of molds. However, the hydraulic bulging process of parts is very complicated. The size of the tube blank, the design of the loading route, and the forming process parameters will have an effect on the molding quality. Closed tubular torsion automobile beam is considered as the research object to study hydraulic bulging die design and optimize forming process parameters. CATIA software is used to design torsion beam product structure and hydraulic bulging die. AMESim software is employed to design hydraulic synchronous control system for cylinders on both sides of the hydraulic bulging die. Mathematical control model is established and verified in Simulink software. DYNAFORM software is applied to conduct numerical simulation of hydraulic expansion. The supporting pressure, molding pressure, friction coefficient, and feeding quantity are taken as orthogonal experiment level factors. Maximum thinning and maximum thickening rates are taken as hydraulic pressure expansion evaluation indexes to complete the orthogonal experiments. Main molding process parameters are analyzed via orthogonal experiment results and optimized by employing the Taguchi method. Optimal hydraulic bulging parameters are obtained as follows: supporting pressure of 20 MPa, molding pressure of 150 MPa, feeding quantity of 25 mm, and friction coefficient of 0.075. Simulation analysis results indicate that the maximum thinning rate is equal to 9.013%, while the maximum thickening rate is equal to 16.523%. Finally, the design of hydraulic bulging die for torsion beam was completed, and its forming process parameters were optimized.

The friction-type high-strength bolted (FHSB) T-stub connection has been widely used in steel structures, due to their good fatigue resistance and ease of installation. While the current studies on FHSB T-stub connections mainly focus on the structural behaviors under both shear and tensile force, no research has been reported on the mechanical responses of the connections under the combined effects of shear and compression. To make up for this gap, this paper presents a novel FHSB T-stub connection, which is simple in structure, definite in load condition, and easy to construct. Static load tests were carried out on 21 specimens under different shear–compression ratios, and the finite-element (FE) models were created for each specimen. The failure modes, initial friction loads and ultimate strengths of the specimens were compared in details. Then, 144 FE models were adopted to analyze the effects of the friction coefficient, shear–compression ratio, bolt diameter and clamping force on the initial friction load and ultimate strength. The results showed that the FHSB T-stub connection under shear and compression mainly suffers from bolt shearing failure. The load–displacement curve generally covers the elastic, yield, hardening and failure stage. If the shear–compression ratio is small and the friction coefficient is large, its curve only contains the elastic and failure stage. The friction coefficient and shear–compression ratio have great impacts on the initial friction load and ultimate strength. For every 1 mm increase in bolt diameter, the initial friction load increased by about 10%, while the ultimate strength increased by about 8.5%. For each 10% increase/decrease of the design clamping force, the initial friction load decreases/increases by 7.8%, while the ultimate load remains basically the same. The proposed formula of shear capacity and self-lock angles of FHSB T-stub connection can be applied to the design of CSS-enhanced prestressed concrete continuous box girder bridges (PSC-CBGBs) and diagonal bracing.

The influence of MoS2 lubrication phase on the tribological properties of the Ni60A/MoS2 composite coating was conducted on UMT-2 micro-wear testing machine (USA), discussing the self-lubricating effect and mechanism. The result shows that with the increasing content of MoS2, the friction coefficient of the coating which changed with the increasing content of the MoS2 presents firstly decreases then increases, and the value reach the minimum when the quality percent of MoS2 wrapped with Nickel is 35%. Low-friction property of the Ni60A/MoS2 composite coating is due to the forming of MoS2 lubricating film in friction surface. The decreasing of the friction coefficient of the coating is in proportion to the coverage area of MoS2 lubricating film.

To investigate the influence of different direction angles on groove textured surface, tribology experiments for smooth surface and groove textured surface with angles of 0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90° were carried on under various loads and velocities. The results show that, the friction coefficient decreases first and then increases with the increase of groove direction angle. And the optimal anti-friction effect could be obtained when the groove textured surface with angle of 60°, because of its superior combined effect of resistance force and liquid squeeze force, which are introduced by the groove. The findings could provide a theoretical guide for the design and application of groove textured surface.
