The research for objectifying the handle of textile fabrics is a very important factor in the textile and garment manufacturing and retailing industries. Handle is influenced by mechanical properties of textile fabrics and the surface roughness. The KES-F system is standard objectified method among different measurement methods. But the measurement of surface roughness applied the KES-F which i...

Technological developments are key to the future success of the textile industry. The future requires entirely new manufacturing processes. There has been a remarkable change in the entire fabric manufacturing process with the implementation of computer programming and processing. Latest textile CAD/CAM systems and other technological developments have given a substantial boost to the manufactu...

Internal geometry of a textile reinforcement is an important factor of the reinforcement performance during the composite manufacturing and service life. In this article, generalized geometrical models of structural stitching loops are presented for the sewing, tufting, and dual-needle stitching methods. The term 'structural' presumes here that the stitching yarn does not only consolidate the p...

In this paper, an extrinsic optical fibre sensor (OFS) for the quantitative determination of dyes used in the textile industry is presented. The system proposed is based on absorption spectroscopy and multivariate calibration methods to infer the concentration of different textile dyes. The performance of the sensor has been successfully assessed using calibrated dyes, with a very good correlat...

Numerical computation of textile permeability is important for composite manufacturing. Using Darcy’s law, permeability can be derived from a simulation of the fluid flow, i.e. after solving the Stokes, Navier-Stokes or Brinkman equations. The latter allow to model intra-yarn flow in case of permeable yarns. In this paper we present a numerical method for the calculation of the permeability of ...

background: textile factory is among the most common manufacturing industries that has higher rate of work-related injuries. knowing the associated factors of work-related injuries can be a critical step for improving the working condition of workers in the sector. objective: to assess the major determinants of occupational injury among workers in kombolcha textile factory, north-east ethiopia....

This project expands future applied-design capabilities for textiles as a function of inkjet deposition technology. The project investigates 3D inkjet rapid-production tools’ potential, focusing on creative gaps in the developing technology in its application to the textile design process. As such, the research investigates future design possibilities for inkjet printing technology in the creat...

development of the e-commerce in manufacturing companies and planning in this area requires knowledge on the factors affecting the decisions made by manufacturing companies to use e-commerce tools. these factors can be divided into two categories: internal and external. the internal factors show the characteristics of domestic firms that will shape their behavior, while the external factors rep...

Energy is the essential input for operations along the industrial manufacturing chain of textiles. China’s textile industry is facing great pressure on energy consumption reduction. This paper presents an analysis of the energy footprint (EFP) of China’s textile industry from 1991 to 2015. The relationship between EFP and economic growth in the textile industry was investigated with a decouplin...

Metallic sandwich panels with periodic, open-cell cores are important new structures, enabled by novel fabrication and topology design tools. Fabrication protocols based on the sheet forming of trusses and shell elements (egg-boxes) as well as textile assembly have allowed the manufacture of robust structures by inexpensive routes. Topology optimization enables control of failure mechanisms at ...
