From a global perspective, developmentally regulated genes during fiber morphogenesis only partially overlap in Pima and TM1, indicating that discrete genetic mechanisms govern fiber morphogenesis are involved.
The phase of calibration of the DE model intrinsic parameters governing the fiber and matrix behavior and the fiber/matrix interface is afterward retailed.
Model interpretation showed that the elastic strain evolution in the fiber and matrix was governed by fiber fracture and interface slipping and not by plastic deformation of the matrix, whereas the macroscopic stress strain response of the composite was influenced by all three.
This model accounts for the various physical factors that govern stress fiber displacement in response to an applied force including fiber inertia, prestress generated by myosin motor activity, fiber viscoelasticity, and cytosolic damping.
Furthermore, important toughening mechanisms in these samples are discussed and governing equations for fiber bridging and fiber pull-out in lamellar ceramic/polymer composites are presented.
This study provides the first compelling evidence that developmental programming of fiber morphogenesis in Pima and Upland cottons are linked to discrete genetic mechanisms that govern the fiber phenotype (Table 1).
