Fibre separation forces

The adhesion between fibres was measured using the cantilever equipment. Two monofilaments are brought into contact (Figure la, v) and the critical deflection Ah. required to separate them (Figure la, vi and vii) is measured. Ahc is plotted as a function of and the critical separation force obtained from the gradient (Equation 1). 

The menstruum 1b now to be filtered, in order to remove the sulphite of baryta and other insoluble impurities, Tho filter employed by the patentee is a thin layer of pure gelatinous hydrate of alumina laid on cloth but the liquid may also be forced through unglazed earthen or stono ware. After the solution lias percolated either of these media, it will be found that all ligneous fibre, sillcions and earthy matters, and all particles of insoluble gum have been separated and deposited on the vessels and filter employed, and very little color will remain in the depurated solution but when a very white gum is required, the process of acidulation must be repeated. By evaporating the filtered menstruum, a colorless, tasteless, and pure gum is obtained, the natural properties of which have not been in tho least degree altered. 

The gas flow, leaving the downdraft pyrolysis reactor, is quenched in a water scrubber. The resulting aerosol is then forced through a glass fibre filter. This gas cleaning system has later been optimised to release as little metals as possible the aerosol at the outlet of the water scrubber is forced through a plate-column, a liquid-gas separation vessel, an extra ice-water condenser and finally through a tube filled with cotton wool that acts as a filter. A metal mass balance was calculated over this system for the three metals (Cu, Cr and As). This downdraft pyrolysis system is described in more detail by Helsen et al. [ 11, 12, 14]. 

PC may be described as the technique for the separation of substances using paper (a mat of cellulose fibres) as the chromatographic sorbent with a liquid mobile phase. The forces retarding the components and preventing them being located at the solvent front derive from the special physical/chemical or structural properties of the paper used as chromatographic medium, and are in part due to partition, adsorption and ion exchange sorption phenomena. The practice in terms of sample application and development... 

In ISO 5079. 1995, Textiles— Fibres—Determination of breaking force am elongation at break of iiuliridual fibers, the terms rupture and break are differentiated. Consequently separate terms are used for elongation at break and elongation at rupture" as illustrated in Fig. 21. 

In traditional FE models, the tractions and displacement are continuous across the yam—yam and yam—matrix interface boundaries. The elements cannot be shared between different materials, but the nodes on the interfaces belong to the elements of both the phases. The mesh continuity demands an ideal geometrical match between the volumes of matrix and yarns. Adjacent yams can either contact each other directly or be separated by a thin layer of matrix — Table 2.1. In reality the thickness of the matrix layer does not exceed the inter-fibre distance, i.e. just a few micrometres. Obviously, the need for quality meshing forces to make the layer much thicker — comparable to the yam thickness. There are two reasons for using this feature in a model ...
