This paper provides a brief summary of the performance of an innovative slip hardening twisted steel fiber in comparison with other fibers including straight steel smooth fiber, high strength steel hooked fiber, SPECTRA (high molecular weight polyethylene) fiber and PVA fiber. First the pull-out of a single fiber is compared under static loading conditions, and slip rate-sensitivity is evaluated. The unique large slip capacity of T-fiber during pullout is based on its untwisting fiber pullout mechanism, which leads to high equivalent bond strength and composites with high ductility. Due to this large slip capacity a smaller amount of T-fibers is needed to obtain strain hardening tensile behavior of fiber reinforced cementitious composites. Second, the performance of different composites using T-fibers and other fibers subjected to tensile and flexural loadings is described and compared. Third, strain rate effect on the behavior of composites reinforced with different types and amounts of fibers is presented to clarify the potential application of HPFRCC for seismic, impact and blast loadings.

In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are middle/hyper doubly Seifert. By the definition of middle/hyper doubly Seifert knots, these knots admit Dehn surgery yielding either Seifert-fibered spaces or graph manifolds at a surface slope. We show that middle/hyper doubly Seifert twisted torus knots admit the latter, that is, non-Seifert-fibered graph manifolds whose decomposing pieces consist of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers.

The optical CT was developed to use twisted fibers for 170 kV GIS. The fiber sensor optimized on the optical CT was wound 3 turns and twisted 4 times per a turn at the pipe with a diameter of 130 mm. The measurement error for the linearity which was satisfied the criterion of 'IEC Class-1.0' was less than ± 0.44 % at the transmission type and ± 0.82 % at the reflection type to 2,000 A. At a low current to 200 A, the measurement error was ± 0.69% at the transmission type and ± 1.38 % at the reflection type.

In this paper, we classify all twisted torus knots which are doubly middle Seifert-fibered. Also we show that all of these knots possibly except a few admit Dehn surgery producing a non-Seifert-fibered graph manifold which consists of two Seifert-fibered spaces over the disk with two exceptional fibers, glued together along their boundaries. This provides another infinite family of knots in $S^3$ admitting Dehn surgery yielding such manifolds as done in [5].

In [4] Miyazaki and Motegi constructed one family of knots in $S^3$ which admits Dehn surgery producing a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. On the other hand, in [3] using doubly hyper Seifert twisted torus knots, the author constructed six families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery yielding a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. It is questioned in [3] whether or not the family of the knots constructed in [4] belongs to one of the six families of the knots in [3]. In this paper, we give the positive answer for this question.

In this paper, we construct infinite families of knots in $S^3$ which admit Dehn surgery producing a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers. Also we show that these knots are turned out to be satellite knots, which supports the conjecture that no hyperbolic knot in $S^3$ admits a Seifert-fibered space over $S^2$ with four exceptional fibers as Dehn surgery.

The silk/paper mulberry paper was prepared by recycling of the hard twisted silk waste and its mechanical properties was investigated. The silk waste was pretreated with sodium hydroxide(0.5%) and sodium carbonate(4%) to make it easy for beating and fibrillation. The silk/paper mulberry hand sheet paper has better mechanical properties of tearing strength and air permeability compared with the traditional and modified traditional paper. Treating with alkaline solution, the hard twisted silk waste could be used for an novel composite material.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have exceptional mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties compared with those of commercialized high-performance fibers. For use in the form of fabrics that can maintain such properties, individual CNTs should be held together in fibers or made into yarns twisted out of the fibers. Typical methods that are used for such purposes include (a) surfactant-based coagulation spinning, which injects a polymeric binder between CNTs to form fibers; (b) liquid-crystalline spinning, which uses the nature of CNTs to form liquid crystals under certain conditions; (c) direct spinning, which can produce CNT fibers or yarns at the same time as synthesis by introducing a carbon source into a vertical furnace; and (d) forest spinning, which draws and twists CNTs grown vertically on a substrate. However, it is difficult for those CNT fibers to express the excellent properties of individual CNTs as they are. As solutions to this problem, post-treatment processes are under development for improving the production process of CNT fibers or enhancing their properties. This paper discusses the recent methods of fabricating CNT fibers and examines some post-treatment processes for property enhancement and their applications.

This research investigated the influence of the number of twist on single fiber pullout behavior of Twisted steel (T-) fiber and tensile behavior of high performance cementitious composites reinforced with the (T-) fibers (HPFRCC). Micromechanical pullout model for T- fibers has been applied to analytically investigate the influence of various fiber parameters including the number of twist on single fiber pullout behavior; and, to optimize the number of twist to generate larger pullout energy during fiber pullout without fiber breakage. In addition, an experimental program including single fiber pullout and tensile tests has been performed to investigate the influence of twist ratio experimentally. Two types of T- fiber with different twisted ratios, T(L)- fiber (6ribs/30 mm) and T(H)- fiber (18ribs/30 mm), were tested. T(L)- fiber produced higher equivalent bond strength (larger pullout energy) although T(H)- fiber produced higher pullout stress during pullout since T(H)- fiber showed fiber breakage during pullout. Tensile test results confirmed that T(L)- fiber in high strength mortar generates better tensile performance of HPFRCC, e.g., load carrying capacity, strain capacity and multiple micro-cracking behavior.

This study was observed of the skin that changed after irradiation of the ultraviolet A. All the mouse were hairless which the weight are about 25g and the ages $6\sim8$ weeks old. The mouse were divided into six groups; control, irradiated for 6 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days. Each group was irradiated with ultraviolet that is $320nm\sim366nm$ of wavelengths. After irradiated, the skin was observed with the electron microscope and the light microscope. The results are as follow: 1) Light microscopy With following irradiation, the epidermis was not changed to most groups but at the 28 days group was thickened and deposit the melanocyte. The elastic fibers within the epidermis were thickened and twisted with following irradiation. 2) Eelectron microscopy The elastic fibers were slightly clumped at 6 hours group, mildly increased and partly aggregated in the 3 days group, branched and tangled at 7 days group, irregulated and electron density at 14 days group, sightly thickened and twisted at 21 days group, and randomly arranged, shortened, twisted, and electron density at 28 days group.
