This paper focuses on identifying defects in a handloom silk fabric using image analysis techniques such as first order statistical features. Any disparity in the knitting process that leads to an unpleasant appearance or dissatisfaction of the customer is termed as a defect in the fabric. Even today, the defect detection in a silk fabric is done using skilled manual labour. An automated defect...

Human body temperature is an important sign of physical condition in terms of comfort, heat or cold stresses, and of performance. This paper presents the preliminary investigation into the design, manufacturing and testing of the textile based temperature sensor. This sensing fabric may be employed to measure the temperature of the human body on a continuous basis over extensive periods of time...

This article presents a study on the tensile properties of knitted fabrics commonly employed in polymeric matrix textile composites. The key mechanical parameters investigated include stress (Pa), strain, Young's modulus and work rupture (J). were developed using Cixing Knitting System software subsequently manufactured double jersey (electronic) flat knitting machine. primary objective this re...

This study investigated existing dimensional variations in knitted fabrics produced by weft-knitting technology for knitting and dry relaxation, dyed wash relaxation the interlock, 1 × rib, single jersey structures. paper demonstrates that once structure has been knitted, shape loop takes fabric, length width, each state will be main factor responsible cotton fabrics. It also shows how affects ...

BACKGROUND The goal of this study is to develop a general population job-exposure matrix (GPJEM) on asbestos to estimate occupational asbestos exposure levels in the Republic of Korea. METHODS Three Korean domestic quantitative exposure datasets collected from 1984 to 2008 were used to build the GPJEM. Exposure groups in collected data were reclassified based on the current Korean Standard In...

Adequate cellular in-growth into biomaterials is one of the fundamental requirements of scaffolds used in regenerative medicine. Type I collagen is the most commonly used material for soft tissue engineering, because it is nonimmunogenic and a highly porous network for cellular support can be produced. However, in general, adequate cell in-growth and cell seeding has been suboptimal. In this st...

In this paper, accumulation of plastic deformation of AISI 1045 steel plates with circular cutouts under cyclic axial loading is studied. Loading was applied under force-control conditions. Experimental tests were performed using a Zwick/Roell servo hydraulic machine. Under force-control loading with nonzero mean force, plastic strain was accumulated in continuous cycles called ratcheting. Nume...
