In this paper the mechanical behavior of woven materials is investigated in order to study and predict their dynamic draping. This model can simulate fabric deformation, taking into account its physical and mechanical properties. Once the model is tested and validated, an artificial neural network designed to train fabric drape is coupled with the finite element model to predict the drape behav...

Elastane fibres show rubber like behavior and are highly stretchable. Basically these fibres contain polyurethane bonds. Elastic fabrics are an important route to achieve comfort by freedom of movement for body fitted with sports and outdoor wear. Elastic garments used in athletics and sports may improve the athlete’s performance in cycling, swimming and so on. A great deal of research is repor...

The Indian textile industry has a major impact on the world economy through millenniums. At present all the textile industries aim to produce competitive fabrics. The competition depends mainly on productivity and quality of the fabrics produced by industry. In the textile sector, there are huge losses due to faulty fabrics. Fault identification in the manufactured fabric is the most complicate...

Nano-ZnO was prepared by direct precipitation method with zinc chloride and sodium carbonate anhydrous as raw materials, and its particle size and dispersion were characterized by TEM. The effects of concentration and the ratio of reactants and reaction temperature on its dispersion in aqueous solution were analyzed and the best reaction conditions were as follows: reaction temperature 60 , ult...

Bleaching of organic cotton fabric can be done with hydrogen peroxide in which Catalase, a non-toxic, environmentally friendly biocatalyst is used to remove the residual H2O2 in a cost effective way for the better improvement of the cellulosic fabric properties. Enzyme treated organic cotton fabric was dyed with a natural dye obtained from orange corolla tube of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis flower ...

3D computer technologies are closely linked to all textile fi elds ranging from the designing and constructing of fabrics and garments, virtual human body presentations, interactive virtual prototyping to virtual fashion shows and e-trading. This paper off ers a review of frequently used methods for fabric simulation. The review is divided into two parts. The fi rst part of the paper comprises ...

The present paper is concerned with modelling damage and fracture in notched woven fabric composites. Previous experimental work has shown that, under tensile loading, damage at a notch in a variety of GFRP and CFRP composites based on woven fabric reinforcement comprises matrix damage and fibre tow fracture along the plane of maximum stress. It is these experimental observations that inform th...

An approach for the intelligent determination of the appeared wrinkles in the robotized handling of non-rigid materials such as fabrics is presented. A machine vision system reads the wrinkles and a robotic manipulator controller is used to eliminate the wrinkles of a fabric. The machine vision system is used in order to capture an image of the wrinkled or wrinkle-free fabric. The direction of ...

AmbiKraf is a novel non-emissive animated fabric technology that is fast, color changing, and robust. Here we combine thermochromic ink with semiconductor heating/cooling technologies, embedded in soft fabrics. By developing a technology that makes the fabric itself change the color we present it as a ubiquitous display technology. We present our results through a various range of animated fabr...

ParaStation is a communications fabric for connecting o -the-shelf workstations into a supercomputer. The fabric employs technology used in massively parallel machines and scales up to 4096 nodes. The message passing software preserves the low latency of the fabric by taking the operating system out of the communication path, while still providing full protection. The rst implementation of Para...
