It needs to accumulate a store of know-how on the design, precision processing and appraisement for metering pump which is a kind of gear pump fer synthetic fibers. But the period and cost fur development is not effective, because designers experience many trial and error for the pump design and manufacturing process. Therefore, in order to curtail the period and cut down expenses, the analysis and simulation system is required for a designed metering pump. In this study, the pump simulation software was developed with the visual C++ language and the image processing algorithm, and was investigated through a discharge test for the planetary gear type metering pump.

Objectives: Objectives of this study were: 1) to introduce industrial situation and health hazards of synthetic fiber, 2) to review a case of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a worker exposed to synthetic fiber reported to the Korea Occupational Disease Surveillance Center, and 3) to suggest supplementary measures for the occupational health system for workers exposed to synthetic fibers. Methods: Respiratory exposure, health hazards, and exposure standards for synthetic fiber dust in Korea and other countries were reviewed. In addition, a case of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to exposure to nylon dust reported to the Korea Occupational Disease Surveillance Center was reviewed and summarized. Results: The worker was a 53-year-old non-smoking male who had been involved in the nylon weaving process for 26 years. He had shortness of breath from three years ago. He was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PM1.0, PM_2.5, and PM10 were measured at 26.6 ㎍/m³, 48.2 ㎍/m³, and 91.7 ㎍/m³, respectively. Fiber components estimated as nylon fiber were detected in the microscopic examination of a solid sample. Conclusions: For workers exposed to synthetic fiber dust, special health examinations of the respiratory system, regular work environment measurement, and work environment management through workplace health management should be performed. It is necessary to research on health effects of synthetic fibers.

3D 프링팅 출력물에서 발생할 수 있는 수축 균열을 저감하기 위해 합성섬유를 보강하고, 선인장의 줄기(cactus stem, CS)를 활용한 바이오 폴리머 혼화제를 혼입하여 제조한 3D 프린팅용 모르타르의 재료특성을 평가하였다. 셀룰로우즈계 혼화제 (methylcellulose, MC)의 대체재로 CS 10% 일부 치환할 경우, 타설방법과 상관없이 9.84~23.92% 압축강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 타설방법과 상관없이 Plain 대비 수축변화, 동결융해, 균열 저항성이 개선됨을 나타냈다. 이는 CS를 일부 치환함으로써 다당류 폴리머 구조가 증가되어 내구성이 개선되는 것으로 판단된다. 섬유 배합의 경우, 섬유의 종류 및 혼입량이 압축강도와 동결융해에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다. 섬유 혼입에 의해 수축변화와 균열 저항성에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 종합적인 결과, 3D 프린팅 모르타르 배합시 MC 대신 CS 10% 일부 치환하고 섬유를 보강할 경우 섬유 종류 및 혼입량과 상관없이 내구성, 균열 저항성에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents the findings of an investigation of the fiber content variations in concrete being discharged from a ready-mix truck at the construction site. Concrete samples were extracted from the truck drums at the beginning, middle and end of discharge. Subsequently, fibers in each sample were separated from the concrete, and weighed. Presumably, synthetic macro fibers will float towards the top, i.e. towards the drum opening, of the inclined, revolving truck-drum, while, on the other hand, steel fibers will tend to gravitate towards the lower parts of the mixer drum. Accordingly, the discharge batch, containing synthetic macro fibers, will contain a higher amount of synthetic fibers per unit volume at the start of discharge than the average unit volume fiber content of the mix, and the content will gradually decrease further down the batch. The discharge batch of steel fiber concrete will contain fewer fibers per unit volume at the start of discharge than the average unit volume fiber content of the mix, and the content should gradually increase further down the batch. The correctness of the foregoing is partly confirmed. A certain percentage of the truck loads did not comply with the proposed requirements, mainly steel fiber reinforced batches, indicating the necessity of a code or guideline amendment. A change in the Norwegian shotcrete directive was made in 2011, based upon experimental research work (2010), which, in combination with the subsequent University of Life Sciences report (2012), constitutes the foundation of this article.

The synthetic fibers such as polypropylene(PP) and polyvilyl-alcohol(PVA) fiber are poised as a low cost alternative for reinforcement in structural applications. It has been reported that synthetic fiber in cement composites can control restrained tensile stresses and cracks and increase toughness, resistance to impact, corrosion, fatigue and durability. High performance fiber reinforced cementitious composite(HPFRCCs) shows ultra high ductile behavior in the hardened state, because of the fiber bridging properties. Therefore, a variety of experiments have being performed to access the performance of HPFRCCs recently. The research emphasis is on the flexural behavior of HPFRCCs made in synthetic fibers, and how this affects the composite property, and ultimately its strain-hardening performance. Three-point bending tests on HPFECCs are carried out. As the result of the bending tests, HPFRCCs showed high flexural strength and ductility. HPFRCCs made in PVA or Hybrid fiber were, also, superior to PP of singleness. On the other hand, effect of sand volume fraction on HPFRCCs made in PP was insignificant.

This study investigates the blast resistance of fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (FRCC) panels, with fiber volume fractions of 2%, subjected to contact explosions using an emulsion explosive. A number of FRCC panels with five different fiber mixtures (i.e., micro polyvinyl alcohol fiber, micro polyethylene fiber, macro hooked-end steel fiber, micro polyvinyl alcohol fiber with macro hooked-end steel fiber, and micro polyethylene fiber with macro hooked-end steel fiber) were fabricated and tested. In addition, the blast resistance of plain panels (i.e., non-fiber-reinforced high strength concrete, and non-fiber-reinforced cementitious composites) were examined for comparison with those of the FRCC panels. The resistance of the panels to spall failure improved with the addition of micro synthetic fibers and/or macro hooked-end steel fibers as compared to those of the plain panels. The fracture energy of the FRCC panels was significantly higher than that of the plain panels, which reduced the local damage experienced by the FRCCs. The cracks on the back side of the micro synthetic fiber-reinforced panel due to contact explosions were greatly controlled compared to the macro hooked-end steel fiber-reinforced panel. However, the blast resistance of the macro hooked-end steel fiber-reinforced panel was improved by hybrid with micro synthetic fibers.

A new method for measuring fiber length and fiber coarseness was developed using image analysis technique. Measured fibers were transferred to a glass slide on a filter paper placed on a wire of the laboratory paper machine. After staining the fibers on the slide, mean fiber lengths and coarseness were measured by a commercial image analysis software, named KS400. The resultant data obtained from the image analysis displayed a close correlation with those from FS-200 and also showed excellent reproducibility as well as those from FS-200. The length of synthetic fibers over 10 mm long could be readily measured by this new analysis technique. Finally, a substantial improvement in precision for measuring fiber length and coarseness was made with less operator's effort for a given time.

Due to their flexible tailoring qualities, composites have become fascinating materials for structural engineers. While the research area of fiber-reinforced composite materials was previously limited to synthetic materials, natural fibers have recently become the primary research focus as the best alternative to artificial fibers. The natural fibers are eco-friendly and relatively cheaper than synthetic fibers. The main concern of current research into natural fiber-reinforced composites is the prediction and enhancement of the effective material properties. In the present work, finite element analysis is used with a numerical homogenization approach to determine the effective material properties of jute fiber-reinforced epoxy composites with various volume fractions of fiber. The finite element analysis results for the jute fiber-reinforced epoxy composite are then compared with several well-known analytical models.

시멘트-점토-모래 혼합토의 휨성능 개선을 위하여 합성섬유를 이용해서 보강한 섬유보강토에 대한 휨성능 시험을 실시하였다. 시멘트, 모래, 그리고 섬유가 혼합토의 휨성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 시멘트량(15%, 20%, 25%), 모래함량(0%, 10%, 20%), 섬유의 종류(PP, PVA)와 길이(6mm, 12mm), 섬유혼입량(0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%)을 조합하여 시험편을 제작하였다. 본 연구의 결과 시멘트 개량토를 섬유를 이용해서 보강하면 휨강도와 휨인성이 개선되는 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 휨성능 시험 결과에 대한 다중선형회귀분석 결과 시멘트량과 모래함량은 휨강도에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자인 것으로 나타났고, 반면에 섬유혼입량은 균열발생 후의 거동에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자인 것으로 나타났다.
