Commonly used in telecommunication, automotive and biomedical applications, microelectromechanical systems have limited successful commercial applications in other industries. This report briefly reviews MEMS, with a focus on sensors, and their limitations in the textile environment, as well as, outlines four potential projects for MEMS applications in textiles. One application was selected; mo...

Nowadays the surface texturing has been widely recognized as a usable capability to improve the tribological systems. In this paper, ultrasonic assisted turning (UAT) isperformed to create the micro textures on the flat faces. Micro surface texturing ismade on the Al7075-T6 by the UAT in the face turning process. Then, the influences of cutting speed feed, vibration direction and vibration ampl...

In industrial textile pre-treatment and finishing processes, mass transfer and mass transport are often rate-limiting. As a result, these processes require a relatively long residence time, large amounts of water and chemicals, and are also energy-consuming. In most of these processes, diffusion and convection in the inter-yarn and intra-yarn pores of the fabric are the limiting mass transport ...

in this paper, finite element model of woven fabric target has been investigated which is impacted by a cylindrical projectile. fabrics are impregnated with shear thickening fluid (stf). the effects of the (stf) have been considered as frictional effect. the stf has been made (nano silica and polyethylene glycol (peg)) and then diluted by ethanol proportion of 3:1. yarn pulling out test from in...
