Machine knitted textiles are complex multi-scale material structures increasingly important in many industries, including consumer products, architecture, composites, medical, and military. Computational modeling, simulation, design of industrial fabrics require efficient representations the spatial, material, physical properties such structures. We propose a process-oriented representation, To...

Fiber structures, yarn structures, and mechanical properties of fibers namely tensile modulus, tenacity, and elongation, are the key performance indicators of fabric cut resistance. p-aramid and UHDPE (Ultra High Density Polyethylene) based high performance fibers are most commonly used for protection against mechanical risks. Specially engineered composite yarns and fabrics enhance cut resista...

Auxetic fabrics are those with a negative Poisson's ratio and have received increasing attention in recent years. In our previous study, series of auxetic warp‐knitted were developed based on re‐entrant geometry their effects experimentally investigated. Unlike weft‐knitted fabrics, the preparation production process very complicated time consuming. However, finite element (FE) method offers an...
