Characterizing the mechanical properties of drop stitch inflatable structures
… investigates the mechanical properties of drop stitch inflatable structures with specific reference to inflatable stand up paddleboards. A sample of drop stitch material was fabricated and simple beam bending tests were performed at different pressures. This data was then used to invalidate a …

''We have the knitting circle, and they call it ‘stitch and bitch’... Is a male really going to want to stitch and bitch?'': Engaging Elderly Male Extra-Care Tenants in Social Activities
<b>Purpose:</b> Extra-care is a form of social housing that provides self-contained accommodation for ageing persons in an environment (schemes) intended to promote independent living and social engagement. Social Isolation becomes more prevalent with age and the risk for men is higher than women. …

Exploration of the Mechanical Properties of both Ridged and Inflated Drop Stitch Fabric Material
<p>The mechanical properties of drop stitch fabric materials in tension and shear has been investigated for use in designing structural applications such as ship construction, modular buildings, inflatable structures, aquatic vehicles, sporting goods and temporary field equipment installations. The …

Characterizing the failure of parachute seams : the impact of stitch concentration and strain rate on ultimate tensile strength
… percentage of the strength of the cloth used to stitch the seam together. In this study, seams and cloth were tested to failure on an Instron 5582 to experimentally determine their respective Ultimate Tensile Strengths (UTS). The ratio of the seam UTS to the cloth UTS was used to determine seam …

Comparison of two fusible webs with two hand sewn methods of hemming 100 percent double knit polyester
… with two methods of hand sewing (the catch stitch and the blind stitch) and with two brands of fusible webs, were subjectively evaluated for holding power by five judges. Another 100 specimens, hemmed with the same methods, were tested objectively on the Instron. All specimens were evaluated …

Top-Down Synthesis for Library Learning
… implementation of the approach in a tool called Stitch and evaluate it against the state-of-the-art deductive library learning algorithm from DreamCoder. Our evaluation shows that Stitch is 3-4 orders of magnitude faster and uses 2 orders of magnitude less memory while maintaining comparable or …

Incremental algorithms for General Purpose Layout System
… accept both layout and stick diagram. The corner stitch data structure is used to represent the unified input and output. A new algorithm for area updating of the corner stitch data structure is presented using non-recursive area enumeration. The system consists of three stages: node extraction, …

Shifting gears : redeveloping the downtown's cultural approach
… New Hampshire that exists as a parking lot, a stitch was employed on the urban scale and a slit on the local scale to establish connections between a cultural program, site, urban fabric, and people, reversing a trend towards creating open lots along the river. The stitch is a cultural …

Alexandria Textile Factory
… building and the processes that occur within it stitch together the holes in a city? The project explores the relationship between weaving and architecture. Can all aspects of the building - from spatial sequences and circulation to structure and skin - be woven?

Discovering Abstractions from Language via Neurosymbolic Program Synthesis
… integration between the LLM synthesizer and Stitch, a high-performance program compression algorithm that identifies useful abstractions in lambda calculus expressions. Lilo augments Stitch with AutoDoc, which generates human-readable names and docstrings for abstractions using an LLM. In …

If Your Love Were A Grain Of Sand Mine Would Be A Universe Of Beaches
<p>Each stitch is a piece of me that I give, a moment of my life and a unit of my love, meticulously culminated into a universal visual language. The optimist in me knits for the cause, while my formalist counterpart works to make the images that sell my thoughts. I knit for the lovers.I make these …

Creating Connections in the City: From road to street; and buffer zone to landscape: Residual highway space as a tool in stitching segregated neighbourhoods into the urban fabric
… by the highway could be an opportunity to stitch together the urban fabric. The project aims to address these spaces by using program to create connections. It finds its program in a sports centre on the border between Bonteheuwel and Langa. By understanding how our cities came to be …

Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding of Foam Sandwich Composite Materials: Process Development and Model Verification
… a process using VARTM to resin infiltrate stitched and unstitched dry carbon fiber preforms with polymethacrylimide foam cores to produce composite sandwich structures. The infiltration process was then used to experimentally verify a three-dimensional finite element model for VARTM …

Use of Noninvasive Methods to Document the Characteristics of Sewing Thread Used in US Women's Dress Ensembles From 1880 to 1909
… of thread characteristics for handsewn seams or stitchings, and 3) documentation of dominant thread characteristics by five year periods. Frequency distributions and frequency distribution tables were completed. The results of this study revealed widespread use of one basic type of sewing thread …

Topographies of Memory
… time. The time I spend working is marked by each stitch, each knot, each repetitive act of my hands. I construct and deconstruct my materials to show a suspension between formation and falling apart, the acts of remembering and forgetting, and to represent time passing and time stopped. I explore …

An adaptive hybrid mesh generation method for complex geometries
… layers, and an unstructured triangulation to stitch between the boundary layers and background mesh. This method provides appropriate mesh resolution based on geometry segments from a file, and has the capability of adapting the background mesh based on a spacing field generated from solution …

Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM): Model Development and Verification
… failed to consider the interface flow in the unstitched preform containing more than one stack of the fabric under very low compaction force. The predicted transverse displacements agree well with the experimental measurement qualitatively, but not quantitatively. The reasons for the differences …
