Air-jet weaving is an advanced weaving method with high efficiency and productivity. It is one of the most widely used methods of weaving in the world. In air-jet filling insertion, the motion of weft yarn is caused by friction between weft yarn and air blown through nozzle. After declamping and subjecting the yarn to air stream, its motion is not active but very complicated and influenced by ...

In this paper, details of the experimental work to characterise the tensile properties of a UHMWPE single yarn are presented. The yarn specimens were extracted from a plain woven fabric made of Spectra 1000 fibres, and a gripping method which could prevent yarn slippage and ensure the failure occurs in the gauge section was employed. Tensile tests were conducted at three strain rates of 3.3×10,...

In cloud computing, software which does not flexibly adapt to deployment decisions either wastes operational resources or requires reengineering, both of which may significantly increase costs. However, this could be avoided by analyzing deployment decisions already during the design phase of the software development. Real-Time ABS is a formal language for executable modeling of deployed virtua...

Cotton fiber length parameters are used across the cotton industry to select elite germplasm, purchase bales and manage mill throughput. The High Volume Instrument (HVI) provides most commonly parameters, upper half mean (UHML) uniformity index (UI). UI is ratio of (ML) UHML expressed as a percentage. These ML, generated following fibrograph principle highly correlated with two span lengths on ...

Abstract Smart apparel with unidirectional sweat transportation functionality is highly desirable for wearing comfort. However, simultaneously achieving fast water transport, mechanical robustness, human body comfortability, and industrialized fabrication challenging because of the difficulty in fiber‐yarn‐fabric multiscale textile structure manipulation. Here, first time, a water‐transportatio...

To realize 3-D simulation of warp-knitted fabrics, this paper proposes a 3-D loop modeling method based on Cardinal spline and recursive rotation frame method. Fabric structure and loop geometry are studied to form a visible lapping detection model and loop geometrical key points obtained according to chain links and yarn arrangements. In this paper, eight points are set for stitched loop and t...

Merchant, J. A., Lumsden, J. C., Kilburn, K. H., Germino, V. H., Hamilton, J. D., Lynn, W. S., Byrd, H., and Baucom, D. (1973). British Journal of Industrial Medicine, 30, 237-247. Preprocessing cotton to prevent byssinosis. A fundamental approach of cleaning or deactivating cotton prior to manufacturing has long been advocated to prevent byssinosis, but no trial had been conducted to test the ...

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...
