Ave 01 DREAMY RELIGIOUS

Ave 01 is a recording of a singer singing Ave with bells for instrumentation.<br />

Ave 03

Ave 03 is a short piece featuring vocals, bells, piano and synth.<br />

Ave 04

Ave 04 is a short vocal performance with a female singer singing Ave.<br />

Ave Maria

Ave Maria is the famous hymn and it features piano and 5 synths. I decided to use synth pads to create the evolving strings part and sounds of synth bells to add tone. The piano part makes this hymn distinctive.<br />

Modeling the tensile strains of non-uniform fibers

The maximum strain experienced by the thinnest segment of a non-uniform fiber governs fiber breakage, yet this maximum strain can not be obtained from a normal single fiber test. Only the average strain of the whole fiber specimen can be obtained from a normal single fiber tensile test. This study has examined the relationship between the average strain, the maximum strain and the degree of fiber non-uniformity, expressed in coefficient of variation (CV) of fiber diameters along fiber length. The tensile strain of irregular fibers has been simulated using the finite element method (FEM). Using this method, average and maximum tensile strains of non-uniform fibers were calculated. The results indicate that for irregular fibers such as wool, there is an exponential relationship (i.e.É› _ave É› _max=ae ^{&minus;b CV} ) between the ratio of average breaking strain and maximum breaking strain (É› _ave É› _max) and the along-fiber diameter variation (CV). The strain ratio decreases with the increase of the along-fiber diameter variation. <br /><br />
