- Effect of Inclination Angle on Fiber Rupture Load in Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites
- A model has been formulated for analyzing the influence of fiber inclination angle on its rupture load in fiber reinforced cementitious composite. As a stiff fiber is pulled with an angle to the direction of pulling, the fiber rupture load decreases compared to the case with zero inclination angles. This...

- Influences of Fibers on Drying Shrinkage of Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Composite
- An analytical model has been formulated for the drying shrinkage performance of a fiber-reinforced cementitious composite. The model is based on the assumption that shear stress is produced between the fiber and surrounding matrix as the matrix shrinks. This shear stress in turn influences the matrix deformation behavior resulting in...

- Fiber's Fit With Dairy
- Dairy products are not the first thing that come to consumers' minds when they think of fiber-rich foods. However, just as consumers have come to believe that products such as orange juice and waffles can be good sources of calcium, they are accepting the fact that a cup of yogurt...

- Coloring of DT-MRI Fiber Traces Using Laplacian Eigenmaps
- This paper proposes a novel post processing method for visualization of fiber traces from DT-MRI data. Using a recently proposed non-linear dimensionality reduction technique, Laplacian eigenmaps, they create a mapping from a set of fiber traces to a low dimensional Euclidean space. Laplacian eigenmaps constructs this mapping so that similar...

- Measuring and Modifying Interface Properties of PVA Fibers in ECC Matrix
- A single fiber pullout test was used in this study to measure the bond properties of polyvinyl alcohol fibers that are available at various diameters in a mortar matrix. Despite short fiber embedment lengths, the small diameter fibers ruptured during the pullout tests. However, it is shown that even if...

- Fiber-Reinforced Composite Plastic Side Members With Crash Compatibility
- Since the conventional aluminum tubes used as crash elements in the Audi A8 fail by fold buckling, a number of designs for crash elements in fiber-composite plastic have been produced. Instead of the crushing method during which the application of force through the trigger can lead to complete destruction of...
