Various techniques are combined with these materials, from using heat guns, soldering irons and lazer cutting to machine and hand stitch to give the reader endless ideas for their own creative work. As always, the author has provided exercises for the creative process and the techniques but combined them with the work of the best textile artists around the world today. It provides the ultimate guide to the subject of layered textiles for readers looking to experiment with their own textile art.
Download or read book Impregnation of stitched continuous carbon fibre textiles by Sheet Moulding Compounds written by Holger Büttemeyer and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2021-10-14 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with the fibre impregnation of a carbon fibre reinforcement by a Sheet Moulding Compound (SMC). In the beginning, the carbon fibre reinforcement has no impregnation. Instead, the impregnation of the carbon fibre is performed by the resin within the SMC material during compression moulding. The combination leads to a Hybrid SMC composite, which is characterized by a high design freedom, good mechanical properties, and high production rates at the same time. The main objective of this study is the development of an analytical impregnation model for Hybrid SMC composites. The impregnation model predicts the final void content with regard to the properties of the semi-finished products and the process implementation. The fibre impregnation is influenced by the viscosity of the SMC material, the processing compression, the permeability, and the thickness of the carbon fibre reinforcement. Among all these parameters, the viscosity is an essential factor for the fibre impregnation, because it is dependent on the temperature and the time. The final impregnation model is developed by an approach of fluid dynamics to track the flow front particles within the SMC material during compression moulding. At the same time, experiments are realized and the void content is determined by using microscopic analysis of the Hybrid SMC composites. The evaluated void contents of the experiments are used to compare the results with the impregnation model. All in all, the investigations have led to an analytical impregnation model with a high accuracy. A deviation of 5% for more than 82% of the specimens was achieved.

Download or read book Exploring Ancient Textiles written by Alistair Dickey and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 30 years, research on archaeological textiles has developed into an important field of scientific study. It has greatly benefited from interdisciplinary approaches, which combine the application of advanced technological knowledge to ethnographic, textual and experimental investigations. In exploring textiles and textile processing (such as production and exchange) in ancient societies, archaeologists with different types and quality of data have shared their knowledge, thus contributing to well-established methodology. In this book, the papers highlight how researchers have been challenged to adapt or modify these traditional and more recently developed analytical methods to enable extraction of comparable data from often recalcitrant assemblages. Furthermore, they have applied new perspectives and approaches to extend the focus on less investigated aspects and artefacts. The chapters embrace a broad geographical and chronological area, ranging from South America and Europe to Africa, and from the 11th millennium BC to the 1st millennium AD. Methodological considerations are explored through the medium of three different themes focusing on tools, textiles and fibres, and culture and identity. This volume constitutes a reflection on the status of current methodology and its applicability within the wider textile field. Moreover, it drives forward the methodological debates around textile research to generate new and stimulating conversations about the future of textile archaeology.
