A high-wet-modulus crimped rayon fiber has been developed from a viscose system that utilizes a high-purity wood pulp, relatively low quantities of viscose modifiers, and viscose ripening controlled to allow the spinning of a highly-oriented rayon fiber with an unbalanced cross section. This results in a fiber which develops a high degree of both macro- and microcrimp. Viscose and spin-bath specifications must be rigidly observed, but spinning and fiber-relaxing conditions may be varied to adjust the development of crimp and fiber properties. This fiber performs well on conventional textile-processing equipment and can be spun into the full range of yarn counts that are normally defined by fiber denier. Resulting yarns have the high strength of the high-performance HWM rayons with the bulk and hand of cotton. Fabrics show better cover than that of similar fabrics woven from rayon control samples, and hand and dimensional stability are comparable to those of cotton. This fiber blends well with polyester and shows an advantage in cover over other rayon/polyester blends that are normally quite lean in appearance.

On the basis of the theoretical study and application of ordinary steel-encased concrete composite beam, this paper will focus on a new high-strength steel-encased concrete composite beam, and mainly studies high-performance steel Q420 and Q460, as well as high-strength concrete C60 and C80. Besides, an experimental study of 5 simply-supported beams is made, and the load-deflection curves of new SCCB are analyzed. The calculation formula of load which changes with depth of section and bending strength of the cross section is also analyzed. It is suggested that the calculated results announced should be identical with the experimental results.

An essential ingredient of the next generation of robotic manipulators will be high-strength lightweight arms which promise high-performance characteristics. Currently, a design methodology for optimally synthesizing these essential robotic components does not exist. Herein, an approach is developed for addressing this void in the technology-base by integrating state-of-the-art techniques in both the science of composite materials and also the science of flexible robotic systems. This approach is based on the proposition that optimal performance can be achieved by fabricating robot arms with optimal cross-sectional geometries fabricated with optimally tailored composite laminates. A methodology is developed herein which synthesizes the manufacturing specification for laminates which are specifically tailored for robotic applications in which both high-strength, high-stiffness robot arms are required which also possess high material damping. The parameters in the manufacturing specification include the fiber-volume fraction, the matrix properties, the fiber properties, the ply layups, the stacking sequence and the ply thicknesses. This capability is then integrated within a finite-element methodology for analyzing the dynamic response of flexible robots. An illustrative example demonstrates the approach by simulating the three-dimensional elastodynamic response of a robot subjected to a prescribed spatial maneuver.

Concrete is a material that has advantages and disadvantages. High strength in pressure, as well as increased mechanical resistance are its advantages, on the other side, it has a lower tensile strength as its disadvantage. This is related with creating cracks, when concrete in a tensile zone occurs plasticisation of reinforcement (provided that members are reinforced) which is in consequence of depletion carrying capacity associated with creating plastic hinge and exceed his rotation capacity. Following, the cross-section has a lower carrying capacity. Strengthening of jacketing by fibre-concrete has provided with reducing width of cracks an increasing of carrying capacity cross-section at minimal increasing of the columns slenderness.

The effects of fiber fineness, strength, and length on the properties of cotton and cotton/polyester blend knitting yarns and knitted fabrics were determined. Five cottons ranging from 3.9 to 5.2 in Micronaire reading, 38.1 g/tex to 48.1 g/tex in strength, and 31/32-in. to 1 1/8-in. staple length were evaluated. Yarns spun from a fine, medium-staple-length cotton were the most uniform, had the fewest imperfections, and compared favorably strengthwise with those spun from the strongest cotton. Differences in fiber properties had no significant effect on fabric abrasion or shrinkage resistance. However, fabrics produced from the high-strength cotton were the strongest both in the grey state and after resin finishing. Blending of 20% to 40% regular-tenacity polyester fiber with cotton reduced yarn strength, whereas similar blends using high-tenacity polyester resulted in increased yarn strength. Fabrics produced from the cotton/polyester blends generally had better abrasion resistance, less shrinkage, and smaller strength losses after resin treatment than the all-cotton fabrics.

Abstract Stable, high-strength, magnetorheological (MR) fluids and devices such as rotary brakes and linear vibration dampers that enable the benefits of controllable fluid technology are now commercially available. Recently, a new way of using MR fluids in which the fluid is contained in an absorbent matrix has been developed. Such MR fluid sponge devices enable the benefits of controllable MR fluids to be realized in cost sensitive applications. Most of the high-cost components normally associated with a fluid filled device can be eliminated with this approach. Low-cost, controllable MR fluid sponge dampers are particularly appropriate for moderate-force vibration control problems where a high degree of control authority is desired such as a new generation of high-performance, home washing machines now being developed.
