The purpose of this article is to study the effects of mechanical properties on seam shrinkage of lightweight silk fabrics. Thirty five silk fabrics are used for experiment. Mechanical properties of the fabrics on warp and weft directions were tested by FAST instrument. Seam shrinkage rate were tested. Curve regressions were used to analyze the influence of mechanical properties on seam shrinkage. The results showed that the bending rigidity and extensibility were closely correlated with the seam shrinkage rate, while the formability and rigidity were not the main factor of affecting the seam shrinkage of the light-weight silk fabric. The regression equations of bending rigidity and seam shrinkage rate, extensibility and seam shrinkage rate were obtained.

Abstract The paper present the examination results concerning mechanical properties of castings made of AlSi7MG alloy in correlation both with the most significant squeeze casting parameters and with the modification treatment. Experiments were planned and held according to the 23 factorial design. The regression equations describing the influence of the squeeze pressure, the mould temperature, and the quantity of strontium modifier on the strength and elongation of the examined alloy were obtained. It was found that the main factor controlling the strength increase is the squeeze pressure, while the plasticity (A5) of the alloy is affected most advantageously by modification. The application of modification treatment in squeeze casting technology enables for production of the slab-type castings made of AlSi7Mg alloy exhibiting strength at the level of 230 MPa and elongation exceeding 14%.

Drapability is the unique performance that allows the fabric to be bent in multiple directions. Silk fabric has well handfeeling and draping property, it is suitable for studying the dynamic drape performance of fabric. In this paper, we select15 different samples of silk fabrics to measure its structural characteristics, mechanical properties and drapecharacteristics for studying the impact factors of dynamic draping property about silk fabric. A correlation analysis ismade with the measured fabric parameters to get the factors sequence which mainly affects the dynamic drapingproperty of fabric. Experimental result shows that the draping property of silk fabric is affected by many performanceparameters, however, the latitudinal tensile is the biggest impact factor among all these parameters.

An investigation on the properties of Tenun Pahang fabric performances using alternative yarns was conducted. The studies were made in order to evaluate whether the Tenun Pahang fabric could be produced economically and at the same time maintain the fabric quality. Traditional Tenun Pahang fabric uses silk for both warp and weft. For this project, two alternative yarns were used which were bamboo and modal, which were a little lower in cost compared to silk. These yarns were woven with two variations, one with the yarns as weft only while maintaining the silk warp and the other with both warp and weft using the alternative yarns. Four (4) physical testings and three (3) mechanical testings conducted on the fabric samples. The fabric samples were evaluated including weight, thickness, thread density, crease recovery angle, stiffness and drapability. The results show that modal/silk and bamboo silk fabrics are comparable in terms of stiffness and drapability, hence they have the potential to replace 100% silk Tenun Pahang.

In order to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of laminated seams in working clothing, a series of research was carried out to determine the correlation between the parameters of the seam lamination process (i.e., the temperature, the time, the pressure) and the mechanical properties of laminated seams. The mechanical properties were defined by means of the maximum breaking force, the relative elongation at break and the total bending rigidity. The mechanical indexes were accepted as the measure of durability and stability of laminated seams. The correlation between the lamination process parameters and the final properties of the tested seams in working clothing was proposed using a three-factor plan 33. Finally, the single-criteria optimization was introduced and the objective functional is the generalized utility function U. Instead of three independent optimization problems, the single problem was applied, and the global objective function was a weighted average of partial criteria with the assumed weight values. The problem of multicriteria weighted optimization was solved using the determined weights and the ranges of acceptable/unacceptable values.

Two lichens species (ParmotremapraesorediosumandHeterodermialeucomelos)were assessed for dye production using boiling water method (BWM) and ammonia fermentation method (AFM). The dyes were applied on silk fabric. Three types of mordant were used i.e. alum, iron and vinegar through meta-chrome (simultaneous) method of natural dyeing. The K/S values, colour coordinates values and colour differences (ΔE) of the dyed samples were measured. Dyeing fastness properties of the dyed silk fabrics were assessed for washing, rubbing and light. TheP.praesorediosumextracts yielded beige to dull brown shades using BWM and pinkish-purple using AFM, whereas theH.leucomelosextracts produced yellowish-brown shades for both BWM and AFM on the silk substrate. Modanting seemed to be effective in increasing the K/S values of all mordanted fabrics except in the case of silk fabric dyed withP.praesorediosumextracted from AFM. Fastness ratings to washing and rubbing were all very good (5-4) for bothP.praesorediosumandH.leucomelosdyed silk fabrics. The fabrics dyed withP.praesorediosumandH.leucomelosextracts produced strong and deep colours as their ΔE values were higher and increased obviously of all mordanted fabrics. It can be concluded thatP.praesorediosumandH.leucomelosextracted from BWM and AFM methods can be used as an alternative dye source.

When controlling the mechanical properties and structure of vessels made of carbon structural steels manufactured by hot deformation on rolling and pressing lines (PPL) of machine-building enterprises of Russia, such cooling media as water, I20 industrial mineral oil, air are used. The applied cooling media are able to provide the workpieces with a given structure with a wide range of mechanical properties. However, the cooling media have a number of technological limitations and conditions of the use, non-compliance with which leads to reject. When cooled in oil, the probability of ignition is high; when cooled in water, hardening cracks may form, and air is not always able to provide the required rate and uniformity of heat transfer to the environment. The efficiency of control of physical and mechanical properties and structure of deformed vessels made of 50 steel by cooling in TERMAT polymer aqueous solutions in different concentrations on PPL of the plant of JSC NPO Pribor was studied. The effect of varying the concentration from 2 to 9% of TERMAT polymer on the formation of metal structure, as well as physical and mechanical properties of hot-deformed vessels was studied. The results of testing the strength and plastic characteristics of vessels by destructive and non-destructive control methods are presented. According to the results of physical and mechanical properties, regression equations were obtained with at least 95% reliability of R2, which establish the relationship between the controlled plastic and strength parameters of the vessel metal`s properties. The conducted researches allowed to compare the indicators of the main physical and mechanical properties of steel vessels at the PPL outlet and to propose methods of inhomogeneity control that reduce time and material costs by 5–10% during the tests.
