In this study, different half-finished preforms are made π-beams. Then the preforms are unfolded to make a 3D shape with integrated structure of fibers, providing easier handling in the further processing of composites. Several 3D textile preforms are made using weaving technique and are examined after resin infusion for mechanical properties such as inter-laminar shear strength, compressive strength and tensile strength. Considering that the time and labor are important parameters in modern production, 3D weaving technique reduces the manufacturing steps and therefore the costs, such as hand-lay up of textile layers, cutting, and converting into preform shape. Hence this 3D weaving technique offers many possibilities for new applications with efficient composite production. Key Words: 3D weaving, weave pattern, π-beam, T-joint 1.

The art tradition is however preponderant in a few Yoruba towns to the extent that the names of these towns are traditionally inseparable with the Adire art tradition. With Western education, introduction of foreign religions, influence from other cultures, technique and technology, there is a shift in the producers of Adire, the training pattern, and even an evolution in the production centre. While Western education resulted in a shift from the hitherto traditional Copyright© IAARR 2013: www.afrrevjo.net 350 Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info Vol. 7 (2) Serial No. 29, April, 2013 Pp.350-370 apprenticeship method to the study of the art in schools, unemployment gave birth to the introduction of training drives by government and non governmental parastatals. This study, a field research, is an appraisal of the factors that contributed to the vibrancy of the traditionally renowned centres, and how the newly evolved centres have in contemporary times contributed to the sustainability of the Adire art tradition.

    French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830

    French Travellers to Scotland, 1780-1830: An Analysis of Some Travel Journals. Elizabeth Anne McFarlane Submitted according to regulations of University of Stirling January 2015 Abstract. This study examines the value of travellers’ written records of their trips with specific reference to the journals of five French travellers who visited Scotland between 1780 and 1830. The thesis argues that they contain material which demonstrates the merit of journals as historical documents. The themes chosen for scrutiny, life in the rural areas, agriculture, industry, transport and towns, are examined and assessed across the journals and against the social, economic and literary scene in France and Scotland. Through the evidence presented in the journals, the thesis explores aspects of the tourist experience of the Enlightenment and post - Enlightenment periods. The viewpoint of knowledgeable French Anglophiles and their receptiveness to Scottish influences, grants a perspective of the position of France in the economic, social and power structure of Europe and the New World vis-à-vis Scotland. The thesis adopts a narrow, focussed analysis of the journals which is compared and contrasted to a broad brush approach adopted in other studies. ii Dedication. For Angus, Mhairi and Brent, who are all scientists. iii Acknowledgements. I would like to thank my husband, Angus, and my daughter, Mhairi, for all the support over the many years it has taken to complete this thesis. I would like to mention in particular the help Angus gave me in the layout of the maps and the table. I would like to express my appreciation for the patience and perseverance of my supervisors and second supervisors over the years.

  • Churchill Weavers Fabric Archive at the Kentucky Historical Society

    Churchill Weavers Fabric Archive at the Kentucky Historical Society

    H-Kentucky Churchill Weavers Fabric Archive at the Kentucky Historical Society Blog Post published by Randolph Hollingsworth on Monday, November 4, 2013 The Churchill Weavers collection of an estimated 40,000 textiles at the Kentucky Historical Society is one of the most significant fabric archives in the Appalachian region. For 85 years, Churchill Weavers produced distinctive hand-woven clothing and home textiles in Berea, Kentucky. The company offered through online and retail stores a variety of items: scarves, ponchos, handbags, neckties and handkerchiefs, tablecloths, swingwraps, fandangles, flings, ruanas, chenilles, and boucles. From its beginnings in Berea in 1922, the Churchill Weavers were nationally recognized and sold in large department stores throughout the U.S. as well as in luxury items shops. Founded by David Carroll and Eleanor Franzen Churchill, the manufacturing center was inspired by India's handweaving tradition. As missionaries in India, they had both established schools for boys that emphasized vocational training. Mr. Churchill had redesigned the fly-shuttle loom which won a first place medal at the Industrial and Agricultural Exhibition of the India National Congress in Bombay in 1904.
