... shells of revolution which are wound along the semigeodesic fiber paths counting on the preset friction used during the winding process. Sample results are obtained for truncated conical and spherical shells of revolution and the effect of preset friction on the vibration characteristics of filament...

...Jun Yin; Nicole Coutris; Yong Huang Hollow fiber membrane (HFM) is one of the most popular membranes used for different industrial applications. Under some controlled fabrication conditions, axially aligned grooves can be formed on the HFM inner surface during typical immersion precipitation-based...

...Mårten Alkhagen; Staffan Toll A random mass of loose fibers interacting by fiber-fiber contact is considered. As proposed in a previous paper, the elastic response is modeled based on the statistical mechanics of bending and torsion of fiber segments between fiber-fiber contact points. Presently we...

...E. Shmoylova; A. Dorfmann In this paper we investigate the response of fiber-reinforced cylindrical membranes subject to axisymmetric deformations. The membrane is considered as an incompressible material, and the phenomenon of wrinkling is taken into account by means of the relaxed energy function...

...O¨. T. Sari; G. G. Adams, Fellow ASME; S. Mu¨ftu¨, Mem. ASME The behavior of a nano-scale cylindrical body (e.g., a fiber), lying on a substrate and acted upon by a combination of normal and tangential forces, is the subject of this investigation. As the scale decreases to the nano level, adhesion...

...S. Lenci The problem of a fiber attached to an infinite sheet (Melan’s problem) has been reconsidered under the hypothesis that the adherence between the two bodies is not perfect. We have assumed that the link is guaranteed by the so-called “weak interface,” i.e., we have supposed that the jump...

... to the drawing process in the manufacturing of polymer fibers and films. In these processes the fiber or film is routed through a series of rollers, each with faster surface speeds than the one before. Much if not most of the stretching (i.e., draw) can occur on the roller surfaces. In applications...

...Y. J. Liu, Mem. ASME, Assistant Professor,; N. Xu, Graduate Student; J. F. Luo, Graduate Student, In this paper, interphases in unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites under transverse loading are modeled by an advanced boundary element method based on the elasticity theory. The interphases...
