Threads per inch and yarn count are some of the most important parameters that affect both weaving performance and fabric property. Experimental studies were conducted by weaving fabrics with three different picks per inch (PPI) and weft counts. The study shows that weaving performance is affected by the too high cover factor. Cover factor was calculated by dividing the threads/inch by the squa...

Garments washing is one of the most important finishing treatments applied on apparels which have vital use to create special outlooks and improving the fashion. Technologically washing is one of the most important fashion elements for clothing industry and production of washed garments depends on the machine quality. In order to achieve an optimum effect of washing process, on the woven fabric...

The use of high-strength fibrous materials offers great potential to serve as the main reinforcement in flexural response lightweight concrete structures. Specifically, weft-knitted textile allows creating complex geometries (i.e. doubly curved or folded) and introducing straight inlays well spatial features such ribs within fabric enhance bond conditions between concrete. While evaluation unia...

Mad weave (anyam gila) is a type of basketry originating in Indonesian area. There is very little literature on the technique, and it is not widely used, but it produces a very pleasing fabric. It has a triaxial structure (the weaving strands are in three directions in contrast to the more usual warp and weft structure), and as a consequence it has a symmetry p6 (or 632 in orbifold notation). T...

Thin-walled textile-reinforced concrete beams have recently emerged as a promising approach for material-efficient design. However, the increased complexity of formwork is major challenge in implementing such elements broader use construction industry. This study presents novel type stay-in-place flexible formworks with integrated textile reinforcement. The weft-knitted textiles allows integrat...

In response to the defects of easy delamination, poor impact resistance, and low toughness in laminates, intra-layer aramid/glass hybrid weft-knitted reinforced composites without lamination were designed prepared. This paper investigated tensile, bending, composites. Homogeneous with glass: aramid ratios 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, modes transverse hybrid, oblique vertical interlocking prepared by vacuum r...

Usually, a fabric weave pattern is recognized using methods which identify the warp floats and weft floats. Although these methods perform well for uniform or repetitive weave patterns, in the case of complex weave patterns, these methods become computationally complex and the classification error rates are comparatively higher. Furthermore, the fault-tolerance (invariance) and stability (selec...

This article provides a knitting method for warp-knitted fabrics with good moisture management performance. By adjusting of the warp machine (mainly bar), design lay-up yarn, selection and let-off tension, yarn covering relationship has been adjusted. using two kinds fineness polyester DTY, cotton spandex, designing warp-knitting structures, six different have knitted. The performance these kni...
