Prosthetic space created by material weave
The thesis is based on physical interactivity between a user's physical body and the built environment. The relationship between body and architecture is challenged by the demands and desires for adaptability and interactivity, however material and construction methods of architecture have changed …

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 …

Tracing the weave: reading and interpreting young adult fiction
This dissertation demonstrates how the study of young adult fiction can be illuminated by a working knowledge of contemporary literary theories, viewing these theories as strategies, approaches to interpretation. The text reflects the author’s education in theory, his belief that a basic knowledge …

High Shear Strain Characterization of Plain Weave Fiber Reinforced Lamina
… Picture Frame Shear (PFS) fixture to test plain weave composite lamina in high shear strain load cases similar to operational conditions. Before viscoelastic characterization can occur, the PFS fixture was tested using current plain weave materials of interest. Various load cases including …

Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave: Cyberbullying, Anxiety, Depression, And Loneliness
Cyberbullying can be defined as any intentionally aggressive act occurring through electronic forms of communication. Drawing on literature examining traditional, face-to-face bullying, it is likely that this relatively contemporary form of victimization is associated with emotional distress. This …

The urban weave: Interlacing intangible threads to form a cohesive hybridized urban fabric
The objective is to find tangible ways of seamlessly tying informal systems within formal systems in an urban space that will result in a paradigm shift of the way informality is viewed by the public. The intervention seeks to find a balance between the creativity of emergence and the stability of …

Development of image based crack measurements, to investigate delamination in different weave Fibre Reinforced Polymers
… of fibre reinforced polymers, of different weave patterns, using an image-based crack measurement method. Glass fibre reinforce polymer (FRP) with three different weave pattern namely Unidirectional, Plain weave and Twill weave patterns were manufactured using the infusion process. Waterjet …

Communication theory vs. performance skills: how do Rowan public speaking professors weave both into class lectures?
<p>The purpose of this study was to understand how Rowan University public speaking professors blend the teaching of communication theory and performance skills in their classroom lectures. The researcher conducted one-on-one interviews and classroom observations of public speaking professors at …

THE BRAID OF TEACHING: Exploring the weave of elementary school contexts in an Appalachian school district
This dissertation examines how elementary school teachers in a small rural district set between two state universities talked about the contextual elements that interacted with their teaching roles. The school district served a predominantly European American population, socio-economic ranging from …

Negotiating the ambivalent construction of 'coloured' identity, in relation to the work of Malika Ndlovu and the Cape Town-based Black Women's Writers Collective, WEAVE
… Women's Education and Artistic Voice Expression (WEAVE), of which Malika Ndlovu is a founder member. Chapter two uses a postcolonial lens to discuss constructions of identity. This chapter looks at the ways in which postcolonial theorists oppose Europe and the West as the centre, and the Third …

The Manufacturing and Ballistic Testing of Tri-axial Quasi Three Dimensional Woven Composites Layered in Polyurea
… be used in conjunction with the tri-axial Q3D weave and polyurea. The addition of the basalt layer is to see if the shock wave of the impact will yield different results with the thicker and stiffer bi-axial plain weave layered basalt composite. The unique geometry of the quasi-3D tri-axial …

Tension Control In Narrow Fabric Weaving
… on the market at reasonable prices is used to weave advanced fibres which have been designed to work with textile standard yarns. This machinery can be modified to weave advanced fibre with substantially improved results but this requires a significant knowledge of the machines and requirements …

Inclusion of Fabric Properties in the Design of Electronic Textiles
… design process. Specifically, properties such as weave pattern, drape, tinsel wire placement and weight are evaluated as physical aspects of an e-textile system within an expanded design flow and fabric synthesis. A textile's physical properties are important for creating e-textiles that look and …

Modeling of textile based composite materials
… made for the linear elastic response of a plain weave textile composite subjected to various boundary conditions and loadings. Hashin's failure criterion and a maximum stress criterion are employed to predict the failure of the yam and matrix material, respectively. A material degradation scheme …

Women at the Loom: Handweaving in Washington County, Tennessee, 1840-1860.
… tax materials to determine the identities of the weavers, the equipment and raw materials available to them, and the kinds of textiles that women wove. The author discusses the reasons many women continued to weave cloth at home although commercially woven textiles were available in local …

Manufacturing and Experience: a Story of Converging Paths
… fabrics live many threads of paths. These paths weave in, out, diagonal, above and underground forming city blocks that we well know. Events happen when these paths interact. They either weave into each other or separate into many. Sometimes a force or desire within the urban layout is so strong …

A continuum constitutive model for the mechanical behavior of woven fabrics including slip and failure
… to the behavior of the underlying yarns and weave. The resulting continuum model is more computationally efficient than a discrete model that represents every yam or fiber explicitly. Because it is physically based on the fabric mesostructure, the model can be used to predict the behavior of …

The linear elastic biaxial response of plain-woven meshes
… linear elastic constitutive response of plain-weave meshes under biaxial tension and bending. In-plane force-deflection relations are derived through examining a representative element of the mesh. The analysis includes the contributions of tension, bending, and transverse shear to the …

Numerical Constitutive Models of Woven and Braided Textile Structural Composites
… from unit cell models of balanced plain weave, 2D braid, 2D triaxial braid and 4x4 twill textile composite materials consisting of interlaced or intertwined yarns. The yarn paths are modeled with undulation portions, in which one yarn passes over and under one or more yarns, and with …
