...Dongdong Zhang; Douglas E. Smith; David A. Jack; Stephen Montgomery-Smith This paper presents a computational approach for simulating the motion of a single fiber suspended within a viscous fluid. We develop a finite element method (FEM) for modeling the dynamics of a single rigid fiber suspended...

...Jun Yin; Nicole Coutris; Yong Huang Axially aligned grooves can be formed on the hollow fiber membrane (HFM) inner surface under some controlled fabrication conditions during a typical immersion precipitation-based phase inversion fabrication process. Such grooved HFMs are finding promising medical...

...Toshihiko Mori An integrated micropress was developed for ultrafine piercing of metallic foils by a SiC fiber punch. The fiber punch was produced by a series of processes that use buffing and electrolysis operations. The technology incorporates unique tooling and fixturing techniques to handle...

...Richard B. Dessenberger; Charles L. Tucker, III In resin transfer molding, the manufacture of the fiber preform controls many aspects of part quality. These include defects such as wrinkling and tearing, as well as spatial variations in fiber volume fraction and permeability. We develop...
