Abstract

A method for deriving the position of a pushing roll, applied even when there is a difference between the actual processed shape and a theoretical solution (a numerical analysis solution) due to changes in a state of a processing machine or the bending characteristic of the material to be processed. The rolls have a pyramid-like shape, and the operation amount of a pushing roll is changed while continuously feeding a material, thereby bending the material. Also, for each position of the fixed pushing roll, the radius of curvature of the material is measured and the bending characteristic is grasped in advance. From the design shape, the radius of curvature and the operation amount for bringing the pushing roll into contact are obtained. The operation amount of the pushing roll is then determined.

Abstract

A winding wire structure (1) is formed by closely contacting and arraying a plurality of winding layer portions (3) in a thickness direction, said winding layer portions being formed in such a way that one continuous flat-section wire rod (2) deformed so as to wind in a helical shape is compressed to form a spiral shape. In the winding layer portions, a curvature radius corresponding to the curvature of a curved portion of a winding portion adjacent on the outer peripheral side is set to a value obtained by adding the length of the section of said wire rod in a deformation direction to a curvature radius corresponding to the curvature of a curved portion of a winding portion adjacent on the inner peripheral side, and thereby the wire rod is formed so as to have curvatures that sequentially decrease from the inner periphery toward the outer periphery and is compressed so as to closely contact over the entire periphery. In adjacent winding layer portions, wire rods disposed facing each other in an intermediate portion are touched with each other and set in a close contact state. The winding layer portions other than those at both ends are continuously connected to adjacent winding layer portions by the wire rods that are not disposed facing each other on the outer and inner peripheral sides of the same side portion.

Abstract

Provided is a fiber-spreading method that can uniformly distribute the fibers of a fiber bundle having an increased number of fibers, thereby forming a thin, wide spread fiber sheet having a uniform thickness. A set of regions Si are arranged in a movable region M which is set so that the fibers of a fiber bundle can move in the width direction. Each region Si comprises a fiber-spreading region Ai and an expansion region Bi. Each fiber-spreading region Ai moves the fibers in the width direction while bending said fibers by letting a fluid pass through the fiber bundle, thereby spreading the fiber bundle to a width Wi (i = 1, …, n). In each expansion region Bi, which is set upstream in the conveyance direction from the corresponding fiber-spreading region Ai, the width of the fiber bundle expands as it moves towards the end of the expansion region, accompanying the width-direction movement of the fibers in the fiber-spreading region Ai. Thus, the width-direction movement phenomenon, due to the fibers in the fiber bundle being distributed in fiber-spreading region Ai, extends to the upstream expansion region Bi, resulting in pre-spreading and allowing the fibers to be uniformly distributed in fiber-spreading region Ai, increasing the width to a prescribed width with a uniform thickness.

A round rod (1) formed of a nickel-titanium alloy material and a round rod (2) formed of a pure titanium material are joined to each other in such a manner that, while rotating at least one of the joining surface of the round rod (1) and the joining surface of the round rod (2) for frictional pressure welding, after the start of deceleration of the rotation, a predetermined upset force is applied in a period where the peripheral velocity in the outermost periphery of the rotation in the joining face is not less than 0.5 m/sec to compress and integrally join the assembly. In the joint, a structure of a reaction layer formed by the compressive force caused by the upset force and the rotatory power of the rotation which deaccelerates, is formed, and the joint has a tensile strength which is not less than the tensile strength of the pure titanium material before joining.

Abstract

The invention provides a multiaxially reinforced laminated molding which has high strength and little suffers from delamination and which brings about shortening in the production time and reduction in the production cost; and a process for the production of the same. The multiaxially reinforced laminated molding (F) comprises fibrous reinforcement layers (SR1 to SR3) which contain reinforcing fiber sheets and are laminated in such a way that the reinforcing fibers of the reinforcing fiber sheets are arranged in three axial directions. Resin layers (TP1 and TP2) are formed among the fibrous reinforcement layers. The resin layers (TP1 and TP2) are each constituted of many granules of a thermoplastic resin material which are distributed nearly uniformly and heat-fused with each other and which also adhere to adjacent fibrous reinforcement layers through the heat fusion of the material. The thermoplastic resin material contains many fine voids, whereby the fibrous reinforcement layers and the resin layers are wholly uniformly impregnated with a thermosetting resin material.

Abstract

A method of producing a spread multi-filament bundle and an apparatus is used in which an arbitrary number of multi-filament bundles of higher strength are simultaneously spread with high speed and a high-quality. A spread multi-filament bundle or sheet with the component monofilaments thereof aligned in parallel widthwise and uniformly distributed in density is produced. The respective multi-filament bundles fed from a yarn supplier or a creel are subjected to fluctuation of the tensile force applied thereto alternatively between tension and relaxation and the respective bundles as subjected to such fluctuation are passed in succession through a fluid flowing spreader.
