Yarn on yarn abrasion failure mechanism of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene fiber

Abstract

Yarns of fiber assemblies such as ropes would abrade with each other during repeated stretching or bending. The yarn on yarn abrasion failure is a main reason for the final assembly failure as the result of the relative movement to each other. To explore the influencing factors and failure mechanism, this work, taking the Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Fiber (UHMWPE) as the research object, discussed the influences of abrading frequency and the yarn tension on its abrasion life. Based on the observation and analysis of the rising temperatures from abrasion, the abrasion fragments, and morphology of failed yarns, the heating failure and crack propagation mechanisms were proposed, which provide insights into a variety of UHMWPE product designs and applications.

Advancements and Applications in the Composites of Silk Fibroin and Graphene-Based Materials

“…Increasing the number of GO layers could regulate the increase in the GO volume concentrations and the total SF/GO membrane thickness. Yarn-on-yarn abrasion has been discussed in detail [ 25 , 26 ].…”

Comparative Study on the Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beam Retrofitted with CFRP Strengthening Techniques

“…Sikaplast 4202 NS (Vision Infra Solutions, Mumbai, India Mart, India) was utilized as a superplasticizer to reduce the amount of water in a mix design while increasing concrete strength. This superplasticizer was obtained from SIKA and meets IS 9103-1999 requirements [ 61 , 62 , 63 ]. The HRWR, or high-rate water reducer (locally available, Chandigarh, India), is a superplasticizer that makes concrete workable with very little water.…”

Bibliographic trends in mineral fiber-reinforced concrete: A scientometric analysis

“…There would be as lesser chances for occurrence of plasticcracking in concrete as earlier as the conservation of moisture starts (Li et al, 2004). In case of more aspect ratio of fiber, the volume fraction would be higher and, subsequently, the adhesion strength at the fiber-matrix interface would be more (Sheng et al, 2021), which would enhance the repressive strength to resist plastic-cracking in concrete and ultimately improve the durability performance of the respective concrete (Jia et al, 2021). In case of durability of conventional concrete, steel fiber-reinforced concrete, and polymer fiber-reinforced concrete, the research has already been the subject of multiple reports (Zhang P. et al, 2021); however, in case of durability of mineral fiber-reinforced concrete, the research is still relatively small.…”
