No matter what the demands of the fabric end-use, minimum strength and elongation properties are needed to prevent a yarn breaking or being damaged in downstream operations.
Isaacs Kekemeke, on Thursday commended President Muhammadu Buhari for opposing the tenure elongation granted the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling party led by the national chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun.
This paper presents simulation calculation of wellhead uplift-related casing elongation in the air section, seawater section, and strata section by using finite element analysis.
52) is that the geometrically calculated moment of dichotomy can vary from the time of greatest separation by up to about 2.6 days regardless of the direction of elongation. This is due to the eccentricity of that planet's orbit.
Incidence of elongation of styloid process is around 4-7%; only 4% of patients with elongation of styloid process show the symptoms [3,6].
A new class of silicone elastomers with unprecedented elongation and shape-recovery abilities has been developed by Gelest, Inc., Morrisville, Pa.
In addition both demethylation and methylation events were observed of which demethylation dominated most sites of the stage-specific methylated DNA were conserved although the level of methylated DNA was dynamic in the process of internode elongation. A subset of 31 differentially methylated fragments (DMR) was identified within genic and inter-genic regions.
Encouraging results wereobtained with slight addition of polyester fiber with respect to yarn tensile strength, elongation and total imperfection as these properties were improved with increasing ratio of polyester fiber.
Following the solar transit last June, Venus passed into its western (morning) elongation and reached greatest elongation on 2012 Aug 15.
Twelve different combinations of plant growth regulators were tested for the elongation of germinated seedlings.
Based on the original works from the area of non-linear mechanics, or vibro-impact systems by the authors: Frantisek Peterka [6-8], Katica (Stevanovic) Hedrih [9], and the others, and the previous works of the authors of this paper [10-15] in which the authors analyzed several variants of vibroimpact system with one degree of freedom, based on the oscillator moving along a rough circle, sliding Coulomb-type friction and limited elongation, in this paper the vibro-impact system with two degrees of freedom, based on forced oscillations of two heavy mass particles, mass [m.sub.1] and m2 moving along rough circle in vertical plane, sliding Coulomb-type friction and limited elongation is studied (Fig.
Foster Corp., a PolyMedex Discovery Group company that produces biomedical materials for minireally invasive devices, has introduced NanoMed EX compounds with reportedly 45% greater stiffness, without reduction in elongation as compared to Pebax 7233 MED, a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) made of flexible polyether and rigid polyamide, the company says, adding, "NanoMed EX compounds are designed to bridge the gap between the Pebax TPE resin and nylon 11 in flexural modulus, a key property linked to improved pushability and torque for cardiovascular and neurovascular catheters."
One of these criteria is elongation at break which must be at least 50 %.
