A predictive model for the penetration force of a woven fabric by a needle

Stepan V. Lomov

Proposes an algorithm for the computation of maximum needle penetration force; it introduces the direct dependence of penetration force on fabric structural parameters and warp…

Studies on handle of microdenier polyester filament dress materials

B.K. Behera, S. Chowdhry, M. Sobti

Polyester filament fabrics made from microdenier and normal denier yarn are compared for their low stress mechanical properties and hand values. Effects of twisting and sizing on…

Towards the virtual garment: three‐dimensional computer environments for garment design

C.H.M. Hardaker, G.J.W. Fozzard

States that there has been considerable interest in recent years over the development of a computer system to provide the garment designer with a 3D design environment. Although…

Seam pucker simulation

S. Inui, T. Yamanaka

States that computer simulations of seam pucker were executed. The simulations were based on the computer program which predicts the shape of virtual fabric with an assumption…

On‐line measurement of fabric‐bending behavior: background, need and potential solutions

Naiyue Zhou, Tushar K. Ghosh

Low‐stress mechanical properties of fabrics are very important in many applications as well as in manufacturing process control. Discusses the importance and potential…
