Because reinforced-fiber has characteristic of single step forming in three-dimensional braided composites, analysis of mechanical performance is very different from laminates. This paper proceeds from the micro-structure of 3-D braided composites, some review and research are presented detailedly, and the several model’s merit and demerit are analyzed, which can conduct dynamicists to choose reasonable numerical model. The mechanical performance can be predicted accurately, and the next research can be guided using above analysis.

<p>Hierarchical molecular assembly directed by cell-regulated aqueous solvent is a fundamental strategy for manufacturing various proteinaceous structures that are of intense interest for nanotechnology, sustainable manufacturing and regenerative medicine. However, to translate the natural strategy into advanced digital manufacturing like three-dimensional (3D) printing remains a tremendous technical and theoretical challenge. This work presents a 3D printing technique of a particular protein, silk fibroin, by rationally designing an<i> de novo </i>aqueous salt bath capable of directing the hierarchical assembly of the protein molecules. This technique, conducted under aqueous and ambient conditions, results in 3D proteinaceous architectures characterized by intrinsic biocompatibility/biodegradability and remarkable mechanical performance. The versatility of this method is shown in a diversity of 3D shapes and a range of functional components integrated into the 3D prints. Exceptional manufacturing capability and one promising application is exemplified by the single-step construction of perfusable microfluidic chips, also an analogy of small-diameter vascular grafts, which eliminates the use of supporting or sacrificial materials owing to optimized crosslinking dynamics and compartmentalized printing parameters. The 3D shaping capability of the protein material can benefit a multitude of biomedical devices, from drug delivery to surgical implants to tissue scaffolds.</p>

A numerical model capable of calculating the strength of 3D braided composites is developed, based on the micro-structure of 3D four-directional braided composites and the assumption of the braiding yarn with a helix configuration and ellipse cross-section. The strength of 3D braided composites have been predicted through a finite multiphase element method (FMEM). Comparison was conducted for those from the present model and experiment. The results are in good agreements with the experimental results in the previous literature. The influences of braiding angle on the strength are also studied.

The fabric geometry determines the mechanical performance of a textile composite. This paper investigates the effect of tow tension on the fabric geometry during the weaving process. A numerical model at the fiber scale was established by representing the fiber as a chain of truss elements connected by fully flexible hinges and having strong tensile modules. Fabric samples were woven on a homemade loom under different tension configurations to verify the numerical model. The model results with respect to the tow cross-section and path are in good agreement with observations of the homemade fabric sample. The tow cross-section deformation is the consequence of fiber rearrangement due to the transverse force originating from Z-binder tension. It is also found that the crimps of weft tows are different to those of warp tows. For weft tows, appreciable crimping is found in the regions of intercrossing with the Z-binder tow. Meanwhile, fibers undulate at the edges and remain straight in the middle of warp tows.

We propose a model to give us a method to investigate the characteristic three-dimensional directivity in an arbitrarily configured flexible electret-based loudspeaker. In recent years, novel electret loudspeakers have attracted much interest due to their being lightweight, paper thin, and possessing excellent mid- to high-frequency responses. Increasing or decreasing the directivity of an electret loudspeaker makes it excellent for adoption to many applications, especially for directing sound to a particular area or specific audio location. Herein, we detail a novel electret loudspeaker that possesses various directivities and is based on various structures of spacers instead of having to use multichannel amplifiers and a complicated digital control system. In order to study the directivity of an electret loudspeaker based on an array structure which can be adopted for various applications, the horizontal and vertical polar directivity characteristics as a function of frequency were simulated by a finite-element analysis model. To validate the finite-element analysis model, the beam pattern of the electret loudspeaker was measured in an anechoic room. Both the simulated and experimental results are detailed in this article to validate the various assertions related to the directivity of electret cell-based smart speakers.
