Simulation should be able to account for drapability of the fiber preform to investigate any wrinkle formation and also to predict the permeability of the sheared fiber bundles. The permeabilities of the elements should be modified accordingly to accurately reflect the flow physics. ... 

Although the keratinized cells in a mature fiber already are dead, the fiber length continues to increase due to the formation of new fiber cells in the follicle. Mature fibers can be sheared after reaching certain length In most parts of the world, matrue fibers can be sheared once a year, in spring or sununer. Sheared fibers then can be sorted and graded for use.

Flow processes iaside the spinneret are governed by shear viscosity and shear rate. PET is a non-Newtonian elastic fluid. Spinning filament tension and molecular orientation depend on polymer temperature and viscosity, spinneret capillary diameter and length, spin speed, rate of filament cooling, inertia, and air drag (69,70). These variables combine to attenuate the fiber and orient and sometimes crystallize the molecular chains (71). 

Surface Tension. Interfacial surface tension between fluid and filter media is considered to play a role in the adhesion of blood cells to synthetic fibers. Interfacial tension is a result of the interaction between the surface tension of the fluid and the filter media. Direct experimental evidence has shown that varying this interfacial tension influences the adhesion of blood cells to biomaterials. The viscosity of the blood product is important in the shear forces of the fluid to the attached cells viscosity of a red cell concentrate is at least 500 times that of a platelet concentrate. This has a considerable effect on the shear and flow rates through the filter. The surface stickiness plays a role in the critical shear force for detachment of adhered blood cells. 

Technora. In 1985, Teijin Ltd. introduced Technora fiber, previously known as HM-50, into the high performance fiber market. Technora is based on the 1 1 copolyterephthalamide of 3,4 -diaminodiphenyl ether and/ -phenylenediamine (8). Technora is a whoUy aromatic copolyamide of PPT, modified with a crankshaft-shaped comonomer, which results in the formation of isotropic solutions that then become anisotropic during the shear alignment during spinning. The polymer is synthesized by the low temperature polymerization of/ -phenylenediamine, 3,4 -diaminophenyl ether, and terephthaloyl chloride in an amide solvent containing a small amount of an alkaU salt. Calcium chloride or lithium chloride is used as the alkaU salt. The solvents used are hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), A/-methyl-2-pyrrohdinone (NMP), and dimethyl acetamide (DMAc). The stmcture of Technora is as follows ... 

The stmcture of traditional woven and knit fabrics permits the fibers to readily move within the fabric when in-plane shear forces are appHed,... 

Because the fibers generally are anisotropic, they tend to be deposited on the wire in layers under shear. There is Htde tendency for fibers to be oriented in an out-of-plane direction, except for small undulations where one fiber crosses or passes beneath another. The layered stmcture results in the different properties measured in the thickness direction as compared to those measured in the in-plane direction. The orthotropic behavior of paper is observed in most paper properties and especially in the electrical and mechanical properties.

Pressures on forest resources and competing uses of fresh wood have resulted in greater recovery of sawlogs from trees that are formerly considered a fiber resource. On the west coast of North America, the larger trees are primarily used for lumber and plywood, leaving only the residues for pulp chips. In order to minimize butt damage, many operations use sawheads rather than shears on the feUer-bunchers. 

In the Reclaimator, a high pressure extmder, fiber-free mbber is heated to 175—205°C with oils and other ingredients. High pressure and shear between the mbber mixture and the extmder barrel walls effectively devulcanize the mixture in one to three minutes. In the Lancaster-Banbury method, high temperature, pressure, and shear are appHed to the mbber in a batch process that is otherwise similar to the Reclaimator process. In another high pressure process, scrap mbber is devulcanized at 5.5—6.9 MPa (54—68 atm) for ca five minutes. The product is milled, baled, or pelletized as in other processes.
