This research project combines computer-aided-engineering methods with practical control strategies to develop precise fabric handling capabilities. The primary goal is to develop mechatronic design concepts for assembly processes such as: folding, joining, placing, and locating that take into account variability in fabric material properties such as weight and stiffness. Three-dimensional mode...

background:the present study aims to present a new method to trace narcotics in the solution extracted from dried urine stain left on cotton fabric. material and methods:narcotic substance was traced in the 50 samples through two methods. in the first method, samples were directly examined through thin layer chromatography (tlc). in the second method, a piece of cotton fabric was soaked in a be...

This study of woven fabric strength begins by focusing on the effects of the crossing points, where warp and weft yarns interlace with each other to form a fabric, towards the ultimate fabric tensile strength. When a fabric is under uniaxial or biaxial tension, the yarn-yarn interactions at the crossing points are found to consist of two components, a pressure-independent adhesive component and...

The aim of this chapter is to review different approaches that have been proposed to compute fabric tensors with emphasis on trabecular bone research. Fabric tensors aim at modeling through tensors both anisotropy and orientation of a material with respect to another one. Fabric tensors are widely used in fields such as trabecular bone research, mechanics of materials and geology. These tensors...

-The area of the digital image processing is getting more attention in the hope that it will increase the accuracy of any scientific measurements. One of many digital image processing applications is texture analysis. Fabric or cloth is a flexible artificial material that is made by a network of natural or artificial fibers. Fabric fault inspection is an important process in the textile industr...

The major aim of comfort research is to find the comfort temperature for an individual or group. This subjective property can be evaluated by means of thermal conductivity as a physical characteristic of fabric. This phenomenon depends on many fabric parameters and it is difficult to study the effect of ones without changing the others. In addition, the non-linear relationship of fabric paramet...

Fabric quality and durability are a concern with fibers that contain natural antibacterial properties or are treated to provide antibacterial properties. The textile industry has developed antibacterial fabric to address the public’s desire for improved sanitation and personal protection against disease transmission. The approach has been to attach biocidal or some bacteriostatic groups to the ...

Current shielding effectiveness (SE) of electromagnetic shielding (EMS) fabric is tested in the plane state, the testing results are difficult to describe the shielding effect of a garment in a curve surface state after manufactured by the fabric. To solve this problem, this study proposes a new SE computation model of the EMS fabric based on a SE vector. The model can calculate a theoretical S...
