The structural and compressibility properties of the weft-knitted glass yarn fabrics from 1x1, 2x2, English, fisherman rib architectures were investigated in this study. Due to their tight structures; 2x2 fabric exhibited higher loop density, shorter length than 1x1 English architectures. displayed fiber volume fraction multi-layer compaction recovery tests where pressure was varied between 2 2...

In this study, the relationship between functionality and comfort of conductive fabrics for smart clothing is investigated by examining changes in mechanical, electrical, properties knitted based on blending ratio yarns. Hence, flat same structure are manufactured using polyester silver-coated polyamide Subsequently, their weight, thickness, tensile strength, strain, bending rigidity, breathabi...

Compression garments apply pressure to the body to provide health benefits, such as increasing the blood circulation, shaping the body and supporting healing after medical procedures. Fabrics used for compression garments are elastic, and the amount of fabric stretching and the ability of maintaining the stretching force are directly related to the compression effectiveness. However, there is c...

Triangle mesh-based simulations are able to produce satisfying animations of knitted and woven cloth; however, they lack the rich geometric detail yarn-level simulations. Naive texturing approaches do not consider physics, while full may become prohibitively expensive for large garments. We propose a method animate cloth geometry on top an underlying deforming mesh in mechanics-aware fashion. U...

Knitted textiles have been used in medical applications due to their high flexibility and low tendency to fray. Their mechanics have, however, received limited attention. A constitutive model for soft tissue using a strain energy function was extended, by including shear and increasing the number and order of coefficients, to represent the non-linear warp-weft coupled mechanics of coarse textil...

This paper illustrates the development of a system to measure the variation in yarn parameters using image processing with the help of a low cost USB web camera along with a yarn moving arrangement. The complete system comprises of yarn guides and tension control device, motor with gear box, monitor for displaying yarn parameters etc. The system enables to develop yarn diameter spectrogram and ...

We have examined the fabric-to-metal surface and fabric-to-fabric frictional characteristics (in both warp and weft directions) of a series of fabrics containing 100% polyester, 100% viscose, and P/C & P/V blends with different blend proportions. It has been observed that the normal load and the frictional force follow a logarithmic relationship for all the fabrics. The nature of fabric frictio...

Compression properties of textile materials are useful for determining fullness, softness, smoothness, and stiffness. In addition, compression parameters have significant influence on fabric hand value quality materials. The present paper reports a study the sublimation printing process change in knitted fabrics (polyester, cotton, cotton/ polyester) intended sportswear manufacturing. For that ...
