Effect of Fabric Structure on the Tensile Stress Relaxation of Net Warp Knitted Fabrics

An Experimental Study of Compression Behavior of Warp-knitted Spacer Fabric

This paper presents an experimental study of the compression behavior of a typical warp-knitted spacer fabric which is specially developed as a cushioning material for human body protection. The fabric has a highly heterogeneous and discontinuous structure and exhibits a complicated compression behavior. Different test boundary conditions and sample sizes were first adopted to conduct compressi...

Exploration of Micromachines to Textiles: Monitoring Warp Tension and Breaks during the Formation of Woven Fabrics

GAHIDE, SEVERINE FRANCOISE. Exploration of Micromachines to Textiles: Monitoring Warp Tension and Breaks during the Formation of Woven Fabrics (Under the direction of Drs. George Hodge and Abdelfattah Seyam.) MicroElectroMechanical Systems, or MEMS, is an emerging high technology that has proven to be very successful in several industries such as medical, automotive and ink jet industries. The ...

Geometrical Modelling of 3d Textile Composite Application to Warp Interlock Carbon Fabrics

In order to better predict the composite material behaviour, mechanical engineers need safe software tools to model the textile structure and to integrate into simulating software by the use of finite element approach. Then, it’s necessary to have a clear description of the textile structure at each scale. The microscopic scale involves the filaments position and distribution to define the exte...
