The aim of this study is to develope a new approach for objective comfort assesment knitted fabrics used in sportswear industry. method based on measurement various mechanical and heat / mass transfer properties converting the test results into axis values draw multi-axial graphics. graphic area calculate unitless Total Comfort Value (TCV); higher TCV clothing performance fabric has.

Yarn hairiness has been an important indication of yarn quality that affects weaving production and fabric appearance. In addition to many dedicated instruments, various image analysis systems have been adopted to measure yarn hairiness for potential values of high accuracy and low cost. However, there is a common problem in acquiring yarn images; that is, hairy fibers protruding beyond the dep...

The effect of fabric parameters such as weight, thickness, and stitch density on the ultraviolet (UV) protection of knitted fabrics was studied. Different knitting structures such as plain, pineapple, lacoste, and other combinations of different knitting stitches of knit, tuck, and miss as well as half milano, full milano, half cardigan, full cardigan, 1 × 1 rib, and interlock were prepared. Ex...

A project aimed at the 3D simulation of textile yarns from technical specifications was begun in 1993 and attracted support from both industry and research councils to enable the formation of a multi-national team of researchers to come together in the UK. Considerable progress has been made particularly in the simulation of knitting yarn and plain knit fabric. In recent times the team has tack...

Three-dimensional (3D) mesh fabric is a key component in ventilated car seats for its excellent cushioning and ventilating performance. It produced by stretching an as-knitted spacer with closed surfaces via stentering fixing the form heat-setting. This paper analyzes effect of heat-setting processes on structures compression properties typical commercial 3D using X-ray micro-computed tomograph...

In this paper, a new yarn evenness measurement method based on machine vision is introduced, which is a direct measurement process, as opposed to other methods. Two types of yarns (i.e., same yarn count but different quality grade and same quality grade but different yarn count) are measured to determine the coefficient of variation unevenness, which can be compared with the results of USTER ME...

This paper reports fabric circuit boards (FCBs), a new type of circuit boards, that are threedimensionally deformable, highly stretchable, durable and washable ideally for wearable electronic applications. Fabricated by using computerized knitting technologies at ambient dry conditions, the resultant knitted FCBs exhibit outstanding electrical stability with less than 1% relative resistance cha...

The paper focuses on the prediction of volumetric density property knitting fabrics using mathematical modeling. Based graphical analysis obtained models, results raw material properties for futer knitted fabric values alternative indicators are presented.
