Using digital and hand printing techniques to compensate for loss: re-establishing colour and texture in historic textiles [PDF]

, 2008
Conservators use a range of 'gap filling' techniques to improve the structural stability and presentation of objects. Textile conservators often use fabric supports to provide reinforcement for weak areas of a textile and to provide a visual infill in ...

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Structural Behaviour of Textile and Steel Reinforced Ceramic Composite Slabs

Education and Research Archive, 2014
Magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MPPC) is an innovative chemically bonded cement formed by the reaction of magnesium oxide and monopotassium phosphate. Concrete produced using a MPPC binder can exhibit faster strength gain and results in lower overall environmental impacts from greenhouse gas emissions and embodied energy compared to concretes ...

Reliability analysis of structural ceramic components using a three-parameter Weibull distribution [PDF]

, 1992
Described here are nonlinear regression estimators for the three-Weibull distribution. Issues relating to the bias and invariance associated with these estimators are examined numerically using Monte Carlo simulation methods.

Infrared radiative properties and thermal modeling of ceramic-embedded textile fabrics

Biomedical Optics Express, 2017
The infrared optical properties of textiles are of great importance in numerous applications, including infrared therapy and body thermoregulation. Tuning the spectral response of fabrics by the engineering of composite textile materials can produce fabrics targeted for use in these applications.

Virtual specimens for analyzing strain distributions in textile ceramic composites [PDF]

Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2016
Methods are presented for calibrating the local elastic properties of tow-scale material domains in virtual specimens of textile composites. A model of the tow geometry is calibrated using 3D tomographic data via previously published methods. The local elasticity is defined to vary with the local tow orientation and fiber volume fraction within tows ...
