Contextualizing urban mobile fabrics
… To be more specific, I will focus on the "Mobile Fabrics" within the larger Asian urban context. Instead of working with a specific geographical site; I will focus on the "Duration" of these mobile fabrics. Certain duration during the day will be selected according to the specific phenomenon and …

Monitoring breathing with smart fabrics
Wearable sensing technologies offer promising solutions for non-intrusive monitoring in healthcare, fitness, and assistive applications. This thesis investigates respiration monitoring using off-the-shelf, commercially available stretchable conductive fabric as the sensing element, eliminating the …

Characteristics of bloodstains on waterproof fabrics
… found on clothing items due to the wide range of fabrics and their inherent properties, along with a range of factors, including but not limited to, treatments, effects of laundering, and wear. The interaction between fabrics and bloodstains has not been wholly explored in the forensic literature. …

Low Stress Mechanical Properties of Hydroentangled Fabrics
Nonwoven fabrics are used in many different applications including wipes, incontinence products, interlinings, blinds, bed linen, protective clothing and others. However, the potential uses of nonwovens in traditional clothing outerwear (e. g. shirtings) are still limited. The low stress mechanical …

DEVELOPMENT OF MAGNETIC FABRICS WITH TUNABLE HYDROPHOBICITY
… and the hydrophobicity of the resulting magnetic fabrics was investigated with and without an applied magnetic field. The results show that the hydrophobicity (as measured using water droplet contact angle) increases in the presence of a magnetic field and the hysterisis in the advancing/receding …

Some studies of frictional properties of fabrics
The frictional (fricative) properties of some 23 fabrics are reported. These properties include frictional resistance, amplitude of resistance, number of peaks, difference between static and kinetic frictional resistance in addition to coefficients of friction, all determined by trace analysis. …

Enhanced techniques for fingermark recovery from fabrics
… of determining an individual’s identity and fabrics have long been considered a difficult substrate from which to visualise and collect fingermarks. This study mainly concentrated on vacuum metal deposition (VMD) and cyanoacrylate fuming (CAF), to ascertain whether these methods could …

Self-healing laminated composites from prepreg fabrics
… unidirectional (UD) prepreg fabrics were developed to uniformly distribute the microcapsules at the fiber interstitial spaces. Self-healing FRP composites were fabricated from the microcapsule-containing prepregs and the healing of fatigue-induced damage was demonstrated. In …

A continuum model for needlepunched nonwoven fabrics
Nonwoven fabrics are sheet structures created by bonding or interlocking a web (network) of fibers through mechanical, thermal or chemical processes. In general, the mechanical response of nonwoven fabrics exhibits two major characteristics. First, the mechanical response can vary significantly …

Finite element damage modeling of plain weave fabrics
Plain weave fabrics are used as reinforcements in composites in order to obtain improved inter-laminar properties. But these advantages are at the cost of reduced stiffness and strength in the in-plane directions. Therefore, it is important to study the mechanical behavior of such composites. In …
