Underlying fabrics can change the appearance, function and quality of the garment, and also add so much longevity of the garment. Nowadays, with the increasing use of various types of fabrics in the garment industry, their resistance to bagging is of great importance with the aim of determining the effectiveness of textiles under various forces. The current paper investigated the effect of unde...

pay attention to the public transportation, cycling and pedestrian oriented development (pod) and car-free streets can increase the quality of urban spaces and create more secure pedestrians with psychological comfort for human. old urban fabric with hidden physical, historical, and cultural values has been the best evidence of urban identity and meanwhile, the life and growth of this fabric ha...

The potential effectiveness of a silver nylon (SN) fabric as an antimicrobial agent was evaluated in a series of in vitro experiments. The results indicated that silver ions from the SN fabric penetrated 2 mm of agar and killed a challenge of 6.9 X 10(7) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, 4.1 X 10(7) Staphylococcus aureus, and 1.4 X 10(7) Candida albicans organisms per cm2 of SN fabric after 24 h of incub...

A meso-scale unit-cell based material model for a prototypical plain-woven single-ply flexible armor is developed and implemented in a material user subroutine for use in commercial explicit finite element programs. The main intent of the model is to attain computational efficiency when calculating the mechanical response of the multi-ply fabric-based flexible armor material during its impact w...

ÐShape fabric and distribution anisotropy of magnetite grains in a highly ferromagnetic (s.l.) syenite are determined for three mutually perpendicular planes on about 600 magnetite grains. The grains are lenticular with an average aspect ratio of about 2.0. Their preferred orientation, determined by the inertia tensor method, is consistent with the principal directions of the magnetic susceptib...

In and around Erode District, it is estimated that more than 1250 chemical and allied textile processing fabric industries are affected, partially closed and shut off for various reasons such as poor management, poor supplier performance, lack of planning for productivity, fluctuation of output, poor investment, waste analysis, labor problems, capital/labor ratio, accumulation of stocks, poor m...

Clay-rich fault rocks have long been recognized to host distinctive fabric elements, and fault rock fabric is increasingly thought to play a fundamental role in fault mechanical behaviour in the brittle regime. Although the geometries of fabric elements in fault gouges have been described for almost a century, the genesis and evolution of these elements during shear, and their links to bulk mec...

Polysiloxanes, which can add high softness and lubricity to treated textiles, have been proposed as softening post-finishing agents for fabric. However, the hydrophobicity of the finished fabric is not satisfactory. In this work, long-chain fluoroalkyl acrylate was used to modify the polysiloxane, aimed at improving hydrophobicity of the finished fabric and retaining its softness simultaneously...

Conventionally, cotton fabric is subjected to a series of separate pretreatment processes such as desizing, scouring, and bleaching to remove natural and added impurities for satisfactory dyeing and finishing. When the sole purpose is to improve the dye uptake, cotton fabric is subjected to yet another separate process called causticization, a treatment of cotton fabric at reduced concentration...
