Woven Threads
This thesis investigates the translation of weaving principles into architectural form, framed through the theoretical lens of Gottfried Semper. Semper’s framework, which focuses on the ideas of tectonics and narrative, provides a foundation for understanding how craft can conceptualise …

A Woven Place
… fabric of place into which the building will be woven. That fabric consists of the natural landscape and the human interventions that have transformed it throughout its history.

Woven with Water
The Elephant Marsh is a seasonal wetland that lies on the floodplain of the Lower Shire River in Malawi. This is one of the most productive ecosystems in Malawi that plays an important role in supporting the livelihoods of the local community (Kosamu, 2012) through fisheries, livestock grazing, and …

House of Woven Space
… architecture being the hearth, roof, mound and woven enclosure. Specific focus is given to the woven aspect of this theory, which is expounded upon in the wood structure and partitions of the house. The house exhibits the characteristic syntax of weaving with orthogonal geometric relationships …

Damage accumulation in hybrid woven fabric composites.
Damage accumulation in glass fibre woven reinforced epoxy laminates manufactured from two different fabrics have been investigated under three different loading conditions. One of the woven fabrics was non-hybrid glass using E-glass fibre yams in both warp and weft (fill) directions, the second …

Woven Networks: Reinventing Street Life in Downtown Minneapolis
<bold>Woven Networks: Reinventing Street Life in Downtown Minneapolis</bold> The most unique feature of downtown Minneapolis is the extensive Skyway system that links over sixty city blocks above the streets and sidewalks allowing its users to completely ignore any activity occurring below them. …

2 dimension woven kenaf reinforced unsaturated polyester composite
… this research is focusing on the composites woven structural preform from the kenaf fiber assisted with the use of internal geometry modeling for optimization. The effect of primary parameters, which are the yarns properties, the fabric count and the weave designs were evaluated on it …

Multiscale modelling of woven and knitted fabric membranes
… two branches of technical fabrics, namely plain-woven and weft-knitted. Multiscale modelling is the tool of choice for homogenising periodic structures and has been used extensively to model and analyse the mechanical behaviour of woven and knitted fabrics. But there is a plethora of literature …

Defextiles: 3D Printing Quasi Woven Textiles via Underextrusion
I present DefeXtiles, a rapid and low-cost technique to produce tulle-like fabrics on unmodified fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers. The under-extrusion of filament is a common cause of print failure, resulting in objects with periodic gap defects. In this paper, we demonstrate that these …

Durability of Advanced Woven Composites in Aerospace Applications
… aging on the durability of a graphite/epoxy woven composite material system. Imposed environmental and aging conditions were considered to be representative of service conditions for the engine of an advanced subsonic aircraft for which the composite system is a candidate material. The study …

The mechanical properties of tightly woven carbon-carbon composites
<p>The mechanical properties of a tightly woven carbon- carbon composite were investigated. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of these composites were measured as a function of temperature and atmosphere. The average flexural strengths are 147.1 ± 6.4 MPa in air and 144.0 ± 5.9 MPa in …

Computational Tools for 3D Printing and Woven Textile Design
… that helps the user to understand 3D woven structures and to create complex multi-layered patterns. With Weavecraft, users can create blocks either from scratch or by loading traditional weaves, compose the blocks into large structures, and edit the pattern at various scales. …

The linear elastic biaxial response of plain-woven meshes
Castigliano's second theorem is applied to determine the 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 …

The influence of woven stretch fabric properties on pattern design.
… system (an uneconomical trial and error) used on woven garments or on woven stretch garments to produce varying garment designs. This is particularly true when fabric stretch and recovery properties and values are encountered. There is a strong alliance with the heuristic knowledge. The aim of the …

Woven Kin: Exploring Representation and Collaboration in Navajo Weaving Exhibitions
<p>Following recent trends in scholarship that establish museums as complex sites where representations of Native American cultures are actively negotiated, this thesis explores the relationship between representational strategies and the employment of critical Indigenous methodologies by museum …

Numerical Constitutive Models of Woven and Braided Textile Structural Composites
Equivalent, three-dimensional elastic moduli are determined 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 …
