TL;DR: In this paper, the numerical analysis of a test for bending rigidity of textiles as proposed by Peirce is presented, which treats textile product as an elastica which is subject to large deflections.
Abstract: This paper deals with the numerical analysis of a test for the bending rigidity of textiles as proposed by Peirce. The mathematical model treats textile product as an elastica which is subject to large deflections. The results of the numerical calculations discussed in this paper are presented on the relevant graphs. The optimal conditions of Peirce’s test were also considered, in order to obtain the results of measurements most sensitive to changes of the input parameters. The results of the calculations are compared with the practical implementation of this test as commonly applied in textile laboratories.

11 Oct 1985TL;DR: In this paper, a fiberglass fiber is used for an optical connector made of a resin composition comprising a resin and carbon fiber as a filler having larger flexural strength and small mold shrinkage factor.
Abstract: A ferrule for an optical connector made of a resin composition comprising a resin and carbon fiber as a filler having larger flexural strength and small mold shrinkage factor. The ferrule has a metal tube around its body that is embedded in its flange portion for added flexural rigidity.

TL;DR: In this paper, a homogenised model for the flexural stiffness is formulated employing Reddy and Bickford's quadratic shear in each layer, in contrast to the classical model of Oberst and Frankenfeld for thin beams, which does not take into account shear deformations.

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal location and dimensions of longitudinal stiffeners in web plates under in-plane bending are investigated, and an equation for minimum required second moment of area of stiffeners is presented and compared to that recommended by AASHTO.
Abstract: Optimum location and dimensions of longitudinal stiffeners in web plates under in-plane bending are investigated. This parametric study is performed by numerical simulation utilizing finite element method. Several plates having various aspect ratios are analyzed and an equation for minimum required second moment of area of stiffeners is presented and compared to that recommended by AASHTO. Also, it is shown that the optimum location of stiffener mainly depends on its relative flexural rigidity.
