  2. Pile weave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_weave

    Pile weave is a form of textile created by weaving. This type of fabric is characterized by a pile —a looped or tufted surface that extends above the initial foundation, or 'ground' weave. The pile is formed by supplemental yarn running in the direction of the length of the fabric ( warp pile weave ) or the width of the fabric ( weft or ...

  3. Wave equation analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation_analysis

    The soil response for each pile segment is modeled as viscoelastic-plastic. The method was first developed in the 1950s by E.A. Smith of the Raymond Pile Driving Company. Wave equation analysis of piles has seen many improvements since the 1950s such as including a thermodynamic diesel hammer model and residual stress. Commercial software ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_pile-driving_formula

    The formula was constructed by the Danish civil engineer Andreas Knudsen in 1955. It was made as a part of his final project at The Technical University of Denmark and was published for the Geotechnic Congress in London in 1956. It later became part of the Danish Code of Practice for Foundation Engineering and was named.

    That is an extreme case; in general the formula will understate the total cost of a basket of goods (or of any subset of that basket) unless their prices all change at the same rate. Also, as the index is unweighted, large price changes in selected constituents can transmit to the index to an extent not representing their importance in the ...

    Symmetry breaking in pitchfork bifurcation as the parameter ε is varied. ε = 0 is the case of symmetric pitchfork bifurcation.. In a dynamical system such as ¨ + (;) + =, which is structurally stable when , if a bifurcation diagram is plotted, treating as the bifurcation parameter, but for different values of , the case = is the symmetric pitchfork bifurcation.

    Ada K. Dietz (left) and Ruth E. Foster (right) weaving on Lou Tate Little Looms at the Little Loomhouse, Louisville, KY, circa late 1940s. Ada K. Dietz (October 7, 1888 – January 12, 1981) was an American weaver best known for her 1949 monograph Algebraic Expressions in Handwoven Textiles, which defines a novel method for generating weaving patterns based on algebraic patterns.

    Pile is the raised surface or nap of a fabric, consisting of upright loops or strands of yarn. [1] Examples of pile textiles are carpets , corduroy , velvet , plush , and Turkish towels ( terrycloth ). [ 2 ]

  9. Shed (weaving) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shed_(weaving)

    The shed-rod was an invention of eastern origin, and was introduced to Europe via Egypt in the first century AD. The Romans used it for both plain weave and twill. [4] After the shed-rod came the rigid heddle loom, where the shed is created by raising or lowering the rigid heddle. As the loom progressed, the shed-rod was replaced by a second ...
