The static and dynamic mechanical performances of notched and un-notched 3D braided composites were studied. The effect of longitudinal laid-in yarn was investigated in comparison with low braiding angle composites. The specimens were fatigue tested for up to millions of cycles, and the residual strength of the samples that survived millions of cycles was tested. The cross-section of the 3D braided specimens was observed after fatigue loading. It was found that the static and fatigue properties of low angle 3D braided behaved better than longitudinally reinforced 3D braided composites. For failure behavior, pure braids contain damage better and show less damage area than the braids with longitudinal yarns under fatigue loading. More cracks occurred in the 3D braided specimen with axial yarn cross-section along the longitudinal and transverse direction.

Medical antibacterial textiles play a vital role in tackling the issue of bacterial infection. Traditional surgical sutures face significant challenges due to wound infection caused by bacteria and breakage and scars caused by poor suture strength. Therefore, a new antibacterial and high-strength suture preparation strategy with wide clinical applicability was highly desired.

Electrical Interference (EI: radiated electromagnetic and/or power line interference) is a common problem in clinical neurophysiology with many causes and thus various conceivable solutions. Although newer digitized electrodiagnostic (EDX) systems have markedly reduced EI issues, it remains a possible impediment in achieving high quality studies. So that the electrodiagnostic medicine consultant (EMC) can problem solve EI, this monograph details the fundamental functional concepts and terminology of electronic amplification and recording electrodes from a practical perspective.

This research aimed to increase the natural frequencies of a non-rotating 2D tri-axial braided composite (2DTBC) fan blade. The investigation utilized a multidisciplinary approach, integrating Artificial Neural Network (ANN) modeling, analytical method, Finite Element (FE) analysis, optimization techniques, and experimental validation. The ANN captured the complex relationship between the braiding machine and structure parameters.
