To improve production efficiency and quality of fiber-glass boatyards many research have been done both through technological as well as management aspects. One of these developments is Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) which is claimed to have high strength and material efficiency. This method has not much been applied in Indonesian boatyards, most of them are still using conventional hand lay-up. The research is aimed to investigate the strength of the composite and the optimum amount of materials to obtain the required strength for its application on boat buildings. Experimental approach was conducted in the research using 800 biaxial and 900 unidirectional E-glass for reinforcement, and vinylester (RIPOXY R-802-EX-1) resin for the matrix. The ultimate tensile strength and Youngs modulus of the composites are obtained through tensile and flexural test based on ASTM D 3039 and ASTM D 790 standards. The data obtained are used to determine the optimum number of layers and fiber content on certain locations of the boat hull structure in order to comply with the requirements of classification rules.

Functional ceramic composite materials are widely used in industry due to their high strength, hardness, high operating temperature, and chemical inertness. Among the most famous types of functional ceramics are the ceramic composites based on the Al2O3-20% ZrO2 system. In this work, the effect of the loading rate on the crack resistance is studied as well as the effect of the crack resistance of ceramic composites Al2O3-20% t-ZrO2 with a mass content of submicron tZrO2 particles on the high-speed compression of model specimens in shock waves and on the high-speed tension in the region of interaction of unloading waves. It is established that nonlinear effects of the mechanical behavior of ceramic composites ZrO2-Al2O3 with a transformationhardened matrix obtained by additive technologies are manifested at shock loading amplitudes close to or exceeding the Hugoniot elastic limit. Nonlinear effects under intense dynamic impacts on the considered composites are associated with the processes of self-organization of deformation regimes at a mesoscopic level, as well as with the occurrence of martensitic phase transformations in the matrix volumes, which are adjacent to strengthening particles. The modeling approach presented in this work can be used to determine the dynamic characteristics of ceramic composites up to shock loads of 1000 m/s.

In order to reduce yarn hairiness of spooling procedure and improve the quality of knotless yarn, contrast experiments, under the given standard test conditions, is performed among several cheese with or without airflow hairiness reduction equipment (HRE); analyzing and discussing the application effect and affect of HRE on yarn quality indexs. It is found from the investigation that the application of airflow HRE can effectively reduce yarn hairiness and also reduce yarn’s CV value of tenacity and improve its minimum tenacity, which can decrease ends’ breakage and machine suspension during high speed warping and high speed weaving production and improve weaving efficiency and appearance quality of fabric. Through analytic comparison, the application of airflow HRE will slightly increase yarn neps, but it’s still an effective method for reducing yarn hairiness and improve fabric appearance quality and weaving production efficiency.

High-speed centrifugal spinning is a novel method to fabricate nanofiber. It has the potential to fabricate nanofiber on a large scale because its production efficiency is much greater than traditional methods. Nozzle is an important part of high-speed centrifugal spinning equipment because its length, shape, and diameter all will affect the morphology and quality of nanofiber. It is useful to study the movement and forces of spinning solution in the nozzle. In this article, the principle and equipment structure of high-speed centrifugal spinning are briefly introduced at first. Then the movement and forces of spinning solution are analyzed by establishing parametric model at nozzle. It can be found that the spinning solution is ejected from nozzle when the rotating speed reaches a critical value. The critical rotating speed is inversely proportional to the radius of nozzle and directly proportional to the viscosity of spinning solution. There are several nozzle structures proposed and compared for nozzle optimization. Finally, the effects of nozzle parameters, concentration of spinning solution, and rotational speed on the morphology of nanofiber are verified by high-speed centrifugal spinning experiments. It lays the foundation for optimizing spinning equipment.

This study aimed to determine effects of weaning ages on growth, rumen development, and carcass characteristics and meat quality of Hu lambs. Thirty male Hu lambs were randomly divided into two weaning age groups: Weaned at 30 (W30) or 45 (W45) d of age. Blood samples were collected on the day of weaning before lambs (n = 5) were slaughtered, and then rumen sample was collected immediately after they were slaughtered. The intake of all feeds increased with age (p < 0.05), but were not affected by weaning age (p > 0.05). Oxidative stress indicators and immune variables, the plasma biochemical parameters did not differ between the two different weaning ages (p > 0.05). The two weaning age groups also had similar (p > 0.05) concentration of ruminal total volatile fatty acid. The two weaning age groups did not differ in body weight, carcass characteristics, or meat quality (p > 0.05) at d 120. These results indicate that weaning half a month earlier than the typical weaning age does not significantly affect the growth, ruminal development, or carcass characteristics of Hu lambs, and they can be weaned at 30 d of age to improve production efficiency.

Aluminum is the preferred metal fabric for high speed vessels due to its light weight and high strength. Among various aluminum alloys, A6005A alloy has enough strength and good extrudibility, so large hollow extrusion profiles of A6005A alloy may be applied to high speed vessels for cost effective design. In this paper, for application of large extrusion profiles of aluminum A6005A alloy to ship structures, production technology required in constructing the ship structure is studied, and the usefulness of the material is described. A structural design process, welding and a production method for hollow extrusion profiles of A6005A alloy have been proposed. To investigate fatigue strength of the weld joint with latent defects, tensile and bending fatigue tests have been performed. Possible painting schedules for the surface of the extrusion profiles have also been proposed and the quality of the painted surface has been proven by test. From this study it can be concluded that the large aluminum extrusion profile of A6005A alloy is a useful structural material for high speed vessels.

The Ji’an PM No. 3 is the first linerboard machine in China to use multilayer curtain coating technology. Since successful startup at the end of 2011, further development has been carried out to optimize running conditions, coating formulations, and the base paper to provide a product with satisfactory quality and lower cost to manufacture. The key challenges include designing the base board structure for the desired mechanical strength, designing the surface properties for subsequent coating operations, optimizing the high-speed running of the curtain coater to enhance production efficiency, minimizing the amount of titanium dioxide in the coating color, and balancing the coated board properties to make them suitable for both offset and flexographic printing. The pilot and mill scale results show that curtain coating has a major positive impact on brightness, while smoothness is improved mainly by the blade coating and calendering conditions. Optimization of base board properties and the blade + curtain + blade concept has resulted in the successful use of 100% recycled fiber to produce base board. The optical, mechanical, and printability properties of the final coated board meet market requirements for both offset and flexographic printing. Machine runnability is excellent at the current speed of 1000 m/min, and titanium dioxide has been eliminated in the coating formulations without affecting the coating coverage. A significant improvement in the total cost of coated white liner production has been achieved, compared to the conventional concept of using virgin fiber in the top ply. Future development will focus on combining low cost with further quality improvements to make linerboard suitable for a wider range of end-use applications, including frozen-food packaging and folding boxboard.
