Most of these nonwovens are subjected to thermal treatments to give the nonwovens their final three-dimensional forms. Therefore, it became crucial to investigate the effects of thermal treatment on sound absorption characteristics of nonwovens. In this study, the effects of the material and treatment parameters on airflow resistivity and normal-incidence sound absorption coefficient of thermally treated three-layered nonwoven composites have been studied. The material parameters included fiber size and porosity. The treatment factors included the temperature and duration. The thermally treated three-layered nonwoven composites are classified into three types based on the material content and fiber blend. Sandwich structures consisting of polylactide/hemp/polylactide and polypropylene/glassfiber/polypropylene layers were called LHL and PGP, respectively. The sample which consisted of three layers of an intimate blend of polypropylene-glassfiber was named as PGI. Both temperature and duration of thermal treatment have been found to affect air flow resistivity and sound absorption. An increase in air flow resistivity and a decrease in sound absorption have been detected with heat treatment. A similarity has been observed between the thermal behaviors of PGP and PGI, which included the same thermoplastic polymer fiber. Variation in air flow resistivity of sandwich structure nonwoven composites increased with the increase in temperature, which was not observed in the intimate blend ones. The air flow resistivity of heat-treated nonwovens followed a steeper trend compared to unheated nonwovens per change in material parameters. In terms of treatment parameters, the difference between the thermal treatment and the melting point of the thermoplastics constituent of the nonwoven composite was found to be a significant factor on sound absorption. This effect of treatment temperature on sound absorption changed with treatment duration. The sound absorptive characteristic of the nonwoven composites in terms of sound frequency underwent a change with thermal treatment due to the structural changes with exposure to high temperature. }, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF INDUSTRIAL TEXTILES}, author={Yilmaz, Nazire Deniz and Powell, Nancy B. and Banks-Lee, Pamela and Michielsen, Stephen}, year={2013}, month={Oct}, pages={231–246} }

Modeling Tortuosity in Fibrous Porous Media using Computational Fluid Dynamics. (Under the direction of Dr. Pamela Banks-Lee and Dr. Abdel-Fattah Seyam). Tortuosity factor is often used to characterize the structure of the pore volume in fibrous porous media. This work involves the determination of tortuosity using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation and particle tracking analysis. A new method has been adopted to generate 3-D geometry for modeling fibrous porous structures using ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL). Computation fluid dynamics has been used to simulate permeability of modeled 3-D fiberweb structures. The simulated permeability results are in good agreement with the models proposed by other authors. The experimental results were found to be slightly higher compared to simulated results and existing models due to the layered configuration of the samples. Permeability is found to be significantly influenced by fiber diameter, and porosity as well as fiberweb thickness. The relationship between air permeability and fiberweb thickness has been used to develop an indirect method for determination of tortuosity factor. Tortuosity factor has also been determined using a more direct method involving CFD simulation and Particle Tracking analysis. Different models established using the direct and indirect methods of determination show that tortuosity is significantly influenced by porosity, fiber diameter and fiberweb thickness, whereas the models available in the literature express tortuosity as a function of porosity only.

Recently, a modified design of medical needles (bifid needles) has been proposed to prevent needle-stick injuries. The bifid needle is designed to provide protection for users by entangling itself with an article of personal protective clothing. The purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness of bifid medical needles for protection against needle-stick injuries. A comparison of bifid and standard needles is conducted by evalu ating the forces experienced by the needle during penetration through Spectra 1000® woven fabric using a force measurement device. A predictive model is derived, expressing resistance to needle penetration in terms of needle and fabric parameters. Our study shows that bifid and standard needles behave differently when penetrating through a fabric. The predictive model indicates that the independent parameters of fabric orientation, needle penetration depth, and needle gap and their interactions significantly affect fabric resis tance to needle penetration. }, number={2}, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Banks-Lee, P and Turner, LDC and Seyam, AM}, year={2004}, month={Feb}, pages={101–107} }

Experimental air permeability was determined for 12 multilayer, heterogeneous, needle punched nonwoven materials. Samples were produced using multiple layers of ceramic and glass fibers. The fibers used to produce the ceramic layers for all samples have approximately the same diameter and density as the fibers used to produce the glass layers for all samples. Therefore, the samples were assumed to be multilayer homogeneous fabrics. In this paper, the experimental permeability is measured usingstandard equipment and results are discussed as a function of fabric construction parameters. Results showed that increasingthe fraction of glass and/or the fraction of ceramic content, and increasingthe number of needle barbs all cause a decrease in air permeability.

This means that multiple layers of fabric could not be processed in an ultrasound tank without supplying ultrasound to both sides of the fabric. Hence, knowing the reflection, absorption and transmission of the ultrasonic energy at the fabric-water interface will help in determining the fabric processability.

Results agree with Abom and Boden’s [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 83, 2429–2438 (1988)] conclusions, i.e., errors will be large if s, the separation distance of the two microphones, is about one-half wavelength and will be small if s is about one-quarter wavelength. Results also show that in order to reduce the amplitude error of R, it is better to locate one microphone near a minimum pressure point and the other near the adjacent maximum pressure point. To reduce the phase error of R for the transfer function method, preference of the two microphone locations depends on the combination of length errors Δl1 and Δl2. Phase error reduction for the improved SWR method requires an accurate measurement of the minimum pressure point.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA}, author={BANKSLEE, P and PENG, H}, year={1989}, month={Apr}, pages={1769–1772} }
 @article{peng_bankslee_1989, title={SOURCE CORRELATION-EFFECTS ON THE SOUND POWER RADIATION FROM SPHERICAL-SHELLS}, volume={86}, ISSN={["0001-4966"]}, DOI={10.1121/1.398718}, abstractNote={The sound power radiated from a fluid-loaded thin spherical shell under the action of correlated axisymmetric annular forces is formulated in this study. By assuming that two forces possess identical bandlimited white-noise spectra, uniformly distributed against the equator of the spherical shell, numerical evaluations of the nondimensional sound power are performed for a steel shell immersed in air and water, respectively. The results show that (1) keeping the input power the same, point forces always produce higher sound power levels than distributed forces; (2) when the band of excitation falls into a relatively low frequency region where only very few, if any, shell modes can be excited, the cross spectra between forces generally have important effects on the radiated sound power level; (3) when the band covers a relatively wide frequency range where more shell modes can be excited, the role of source correlations becomes important only if the two forces are located close to one another; (4) when two forces are positively correlated (r=+1), there always exists an optimal separation distance (expressed as angle Θ1) between the two forces that will produce a relatively minimum sound power level. This phenomenon of sound power reduction is discussed by means of sound power spectrum analysis. These conclusions are applicable for spherical shells immersed in air and in water.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA}, author={PENG, H and BANKSLEE, P}, year={1989}, month={Oct}, pages={1586–1594} }
