Effect of Structure on Vertical and Horizontal Wicking Performance Concerning Jute (Chorchorus Olitorius) and Water

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2022
Vertical and horizontal wickings were studied for jute, a lingo-cellulosic natural fiber, as fiber, yarn, woven fabric, and nonwoven. The effect of yarn parameters (linear density, twist density, and tension), fabric type (plain woven, twill woven, and ...

Miniaturized fibre‐top cantilevers on etched fibres [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, 2016
SummaryFibre‐top probes are self‐aligned, all optical devices obtained by carving a cantilever on top of a 125‐m diameter single‐mode optical fibre. In this paper, we show that this design can be adapted to smaller fibres as well. We evaluated the performance of a 20‐m diameter probe in contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) and that of a 50‐m ...

A multiplexed CW Brillouin system for precise interrogation of a sensor array made from short discrete sections of optical fibre [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A novel configuration for precise temperature sensing in an array of optical fibre sections is reported. The sections are chosen to have different Brillouin shifts, to enable separation of scattered light signals in the frequency domain, rather than the ...

Study of Thermal Insulation Performance of Layered Jute Nonwoven: A Sustainable Material

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2022
An eco-friendly sustainable thermal insulator has been developed as a replacement of some commercially available manmade materials to control heat transfer in case of buildings, and semi-permanent/temporary structures.

Locally pressed fibre Bragg grating pressure sensor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A spectral-hole created by locally pressing a fibre Bragg grating exhibited a wavelength-shift within the FBG bandwidth. A sensitivity of 74.3pm/(N/mm) was obtained for pressure applied along the slow axis of a high birefringence ...

Calculation of the Friction Coefficients of Flax Stems according to their Roughness Characteristics

open access: yesСельскохозяйственные машины и технологии, 2019
When harvesting flax, its stems get into contact with the working elements of flax harvesting machines. The authors have found that the diversity of materials used to manufacture the working elements made it necessary to calculate the friction ...

Fibre Optic Sensors with Nano-Structured Coatings. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A review of optical fibre devices employing nano-structured coatings is presented. Active and passive coatings, deposited using the Langmuirâ  Blodgett and electro-static self-assembly techniques, have been utilised to influence the transmission ...

Mineralogy and glass content of Fe‐rich fayalite slag size fractions and their effect on alkali activation and leaching of heavy metals

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ceramic Engineering & Science, 2021
Fayalite slag (FS) is an Fe‐rich nonferrous metallurgy (CaO‐MgO‐) FeOx‐SiO2 slag originating from nickel or copper manufacturing processes, which currently is disposed to landfills or used in low‐value applications. This study investigates the mineralogy

Predicting wood stiffness of lodgepole pine trees using acoustic tools and green density

open access: yesThe Forestry Chronicle, 2021
Upstream identification of wood properties using non-destructive testing methods such as acoustic velocity (AV) measurements is important for optimizing allocation of wood to mills or products. We evaluated the effectiveness of field AV measurement tools
