Technical textiles used in airbag are usually in tight structure and subject to high air pressure in through-thickness direction. The pressure can deform fabric with changing its properties such as porosity and air permeability. This paper proposes an analytical approach to predict the out-of-plane deformation of tight fabric by analogy with membrane deformation. The model integrates the energies happened on the deformed fabric, that is, fabric strain energy, bending energy, and external work done. The fabric deformation can be predicted by minimizing the total fabric energy. The prediction was validated by experiment for fabric profile and the maximum displacement, and a good agreement was found for the cases of two typical fabrics. A sensitivity study shows that Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio can affect the fabric deformation significantly.

Many technical applications of woven fabric are subject to increasing high pressure from air transport through the fabric. The through-thickness permeability (TP) of woven materials exhibits a dynamic response to increased air pressure. This paper presents an analytical model for predicting the steady TP of woven fabric. The approach was based on Darcy’s law and the Poiseuille equation, using the flow boundary of an idealized plain-weave unit cell. The unit cell model consists of a gradual converging-diverging (GCD) duct with a rectangular cross-section. Further, the dynamic TP of the GCD duct was established analytically as a function of increasing pressure, which correlates to the separation of air flow from the GCD duct wall. Air flow separation from the duct wall led to a quadratic relationship between the increasing pressure and air flow velocities. This dynamic TP and air flow nonlinearity were simulated numerically in the computational fluid dynamics solver CFX. Five GCD ducts under increasing air pressure were analyzed numerically and analytically. The comparison showed good agreement between the proposed analytical model and the CFD simulation, with a maximum error up to 12%. A sensitivity study showed that an increase in porosity or a decrease in the thickness of weave materials could result in a larger dynamic TP value.

Military personnel use protective armor systems that are frequently exposed to low-level damage, such as non-ballistic impact, wear-and-tear from everyday use, and damage during storage of equipment. The extent to which such low-level pre-damage could affect the performance of an armor system is unknown. In this work, low-level pre-damage has been introduced into a Kevlar/phenolic resin-starved composite panel using tensile loading. The tensile stress–strain behavior of this eight-layer material has been investigated and has been found to have two distinct regions; these have been understood in terms of the microstructure and damage within the composite panels investigated using micro-computed tomography and digital image correlation. Ballistic testing carried out on pristine (control) and pre-damaged panels did not indicate any difference in the V50 ballistic performance. However, an indication of a difference in response to ballistic impact was observed; the area of maximal local out-of-plane deformation for the pre-damaged panels was found to be twice that of the control panels, and the global out-of-plane deformation across the panel was also larger.

In the concept of the process signature, the relationship between a material load and the modification remaining in the workpiece is used to better understand and optimize manufacturing processes. The basic prerequisite for this is to be able to measure the loads occurring during the machining process in the form of mechanical deformations. Speckle photography is suitable for this in-process measurement task and is already used in a variety of ways for in-plane deformation measurements. The shortcoming of this fast and robust measurement technique based on image correlation techniques is that out-of-plane deformations in the direction of the measurement system cannot be detected and increases the measurement error of in-plane deformations. In this paper, we investigate a method that infers local out-of-plane motions of the workpiece surface from the decorrelation of speckle patterns and is thus able to reconstruct three-dimensional deformation fields. The implementation of the evaluation method enables a fast reconstruction of 3D deformation fields, so that the in-process capability remains given. First measurements in a deep rolling process show that dynamic deformations underneath the die can be captured and demonstrate the suitability of the speckle method for manufacturing process analysis.

Paper Method

In order to study the buckling mechanics behaviour of the out-of-plane stability of arches with the double symmetry axis section, by mean of potential variational theories, considering the out-of-plane deformation of arches, the out-of-plane stability governing equation of arches was obtained. The problem was solved by the spline function allocating point method. An example was calculated with this paper method. It is shown by comparing the result of this paper with the others that the paper method is reliable and accurate.
