This randomized, double-blind, crossover study examined the effects of a clothing ensemble made of a synthetic fabric promoted as having superior cooling properties (COOL) on exercise performance and its physiological and perceptual determinants during cycle exercise in ambient laboratory conditions that mimic environmental conditions of indoor training/sporting facilities. Twenty athletes (15 ...

We have examined the fabric-to-metal surface and fabric-to-fabric frictional characteristics (in both warp and weft directions) of a series of fabrics containing 100% polyester, 100% viscose, and P/C & P/V blends with different blend proportions. It has been observed that the normal load and the frictional force follow a logarithmic relationship for all the fabrics. The nature of fabric frictio...

Presently, it is difficult to measure the characteristic impedance of embroidered microstrip line for its conductive anisotropy directly. The published work had proposed use S-parameters estimate port a balanced dipole antenna, and cannot be used calculate lines with one arm. Thus, still problem on measuring obtaining 50 Ω line. Therefore, taking reflection coefficient as an intermediate variab...

In this paper, finite element model of woven fabric target has been investigated which is impacted by a cylindrical projectile. Fabrics are impregnated with Shear Thickening Fluid (STF). The effects of the (STF) have been considered as frictional effect. The STF has been made (Nano Silica and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)) and then diluted by ethanol proportion of 3:1. Yarn pulling out test from in...

Automated fabric inspection system is important to prevent delivering of inferior quality fabric and designed to increase the accuracy, consistency and speed of defect detection in fabric manufacturing process to reduce labor costs, improve product quality and increase manufacturing efficiency. Fabric inspection is still carried out offline and manually by humans with many drawbacks such as tir...
