A filament bundle is a kind of filament assembly with less twist or nontwist. It is a viscoelastic body and has a large aspect ratio. Its large deformation during motion over a wide range is a universal phenomenon in many textile processes. The dynamic viscoelasticity of the filament bundle, gravity, and air resistance are three important factors affecting the filament bundle's dynamic behavior. Taking account of these factors, a filament bundle dynamics analysis method is proposed in a series of three papers. This paper, the first in the series, presents an approach to model the dynamics of the flexible filament bundle with viscoelasticity and to analyze its dynamic behavior under the action of gravity and air resistance. The filament bundle element (FBE) is established based on absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF), in which slope vectors and global coordinates are applied. The approach presented in this paper is well suited for the analysis of large deformation motions of filament bundles. As an example, a dynamic model was established to predict the filament bundle's trace during its swinging through large displacements under the action of gravity and air resistance, taking into account the filament bundle viscosity. The nonlinear differential equations of the filament bundle system were solved using MATLAB. Furthermore, the swing traces of the filament bundle in a closed Plexiglas box with different vacuum degrees were recorded using a high-speed camera to prove the validity of the established filament bundle model based on ANCF.
This paper continues the previous study and presents a dynamic modeling approach for a high-speed winding system. To meet the requirements of high-speed winding, a twin-rotor coupling structure is adopted in the winding system. It is a complex spindle system, due to its high speed, heavy load, frequency-dependent coupling parameters, and time-varying rotational speed. In this paper, an approach to establishing a finite element model of the winding system is proposed to predict its dynamic behavior characteristics during the winding process. First, the spindle and contact roller models of the discrete single component are developed based on Timoshenko beam theory. Bending, transverse shear effects, and gyroscopic moment are considered in the models. The contact stiffness between the contact roller and the packages to be wound on the spindle is simplified by a nonlinear spring. The contact stiffness is identified by dynamics analysis in ANSYS® 17.0. Next, a fully dynamic model of the winding system, which consists of the spindle subsystem, the contact roller, and the flexible coupling elements, is established. Third, the Newmark method is used to develop the program to solve the dynamic equations in MATLAB® 2013b. Finally, the effects of the supporting system and contact state on the winding system's dynamic response are investigated. The results indicate the model of the winding system presented in this paper is suitable for predicting dynamic performance during the winding process.
A new finite element dynamic model of a moving yarn segment has been proposed in this paper based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF). Apart from taking into account the elastic properties of the yarn in three dimensions, the model also considers the viscosity in the longitudinal direction and takes into account the effect of gravity and air resistance. In this paper, the simulation described the movement of the yarn segment that is pulled by the fixer on the guideway. Then, a corresponding experiment was proposed to evaluate the theoretical model. The theoretical and experimental comparisons of the motion tracing exhibited good agreement, demonstrating that the new model could predict the actual moving trace of the yarn segment. Moreover, another simulation of the spatial motion of the yarn segment was presented, to elucidate the role of the model in predicting the movement of the yarn segment. After considering the parameters of the actual process and its constraints, the authors established that the proposed model could be used to predict the trajectory of a yarn segment in the actual production process, which is vital when fabricating textile products.
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a lung disease that may cause impaired gas exchange and respiratory failure while being difficult to treat. Rapid, sensitive, and accurate detection of lung tissue and cell changes is essential for the effective diagnosis and treatment of PF. Currently, the commonly-used high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging has been challenging to distinguish early PF from other pathological processes in the lung structure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using hyperpolarized gases is hampered by the higher cost to become a routine diagnostic tool. As a result, the development of new PF imaging technologies may be a promising solution. Here, we summarize and discuss recent advances in fluorescence imaging as a talented optical technique for the diagnosis and evaluation of PF, including collagen imaging, oxidative stress, inflammation, and PF-related biomarkers. The design strategies of the probes for fluorescence imaging (including multimodal imaging) of PF are briefly described, which can provide new ideas for the future PF-related imaging research. It is hoped that this review will promote the translation of fluorescence imaging into a clinically usable assay in PF.
A filament bundle is a type of yarn, which is composed of nearly parallel and highly oriented polymer monofilaments. Due to its nonlinearity both in material constitutive properties and structure, the filament bundle possesses nonlinear viscoelastic properties. It is important to study the dynamic behavior of the filament bundle accurately during its high-speed movement. Therefore, an accurate expression of the constitutive relation of the filament bundle is an essential prerequisite for its dynamic simulation and analysis. Continued the previous study in Part I: modeling filament bundle method, in this paper, an approach was proposed to identify the equivalent dynamic constitutive parameters of the filament bundle considering frequency-dependent characteristics. Firstly, the identification formulas of the dynamic elastic modulus and viscoelastic coefficients were derived based on the Kelvin model. Then, a testing method of the cross-sectional parameters of the filament bundle under a certain tension was proposed, and the testing device was developed to obtain the area of the filament bundle; The dynamic loading test of the bundle filament was conducted in a DMA Q800 dynamic mechanical tester. Thirdly, the equivalent dynamic elastic modulus and viscoelastic coefficients were obtained through the experimental test. Finally, an analytical method was proposed to verify the correctness of experimental results through simulation. The results show that the excitation frequency has a significant influence on the dynamic elastic modulus and viscoelastic coefficient, and the curves of the equivalent dynamic elastic modulus and viscoelastic coefficient present nonlinear variation characteristics.
