Numerical study of the mechanical behaviour of textile structures

Mostapha Tarfaoui, Samir Akesbi

The arrangement as well as the properties and the structure of the fibres within the yarn and the yarns within the fabric generate a complex mechanism of deformation in such…

The peculiarities of textile behaviour in biaxial punch deformation

Eugenija Strazdiene, Matas Gutauskas

The goal of this research work was experimental investigation and evaluation of biaxial punch deformation processes of anisotropic textile materials. The investigation was aimed…

Use of a knowledge base for studying the correlation between the constructional parameters of fabrics and properties of a fused panel

Simona Jevšnik, Jelka Geršak

The mechanical and physical properties of fusible interlinings and fabrics depend on their constructional parameters, but fused panel properties depend on all of them. A new…

A novel algorithm for fitting a woven‐cloth to complex surfaces

Rajcoomar B. Ramgulam

A fitting algorithm is presented that can be applied to any surface described numerically or analytically. The algorithm that is based on differential geometry is more robust and…

Voluminal reconstruction of the bodies applied to the cloth trade

Florence Dieval, Daniel Mathieu, Karine Herve, Bernard Durand

The clothes industry in the developed countries must generate sufficient value added to justify a higher price than the articles produced in great quantity and at low prices in…

Links between design, pattern development and fabric behaviours for clothes and technical textiles

Hartmut Rödel, Andrea Schenk, Claudia Herzberg, Sybille Krzywinski

Shows the necessity of developing powerful 3D CAD‐systems for the textile and clothing industry. The connection between 2D and 3D CAD‐systems enables the user to prepare a…

Methods of automatic computerised cutting pattern construction

Slavenka Petrak, Dubravko Rogale

The procedure of computerised automatic construction of a cutting pattern for men’s shirt is presented. It is based on the calculation of construction measures necessary for the…

Study of the tensile force of thread in relation to its pre‐tension

Darja Žunič‐Lojen, Jelka Geršak

The perfect interlacing of needle and bobbin thread in the stitch formation process and seam appearance depends first of all on correct pre‐tension of the tension regulator…

The impact of auxiliary devices on sewing‐machines upon processing parameters of sewing operations

Dubravko Rogale, Zvonko Dragčevic´, Anica Hursa

An investigation is presented of the impact of mechanical auxiliary devices on sewing‐machines upon the processing parameters of sewing operations. Processing parameters are…

Investigation of dynamic working zones and movements in garment engineering

Zvonko Dragčević, Snježana Firšt Rogale

A new measuring system for three‐dimensional video recording is described, together with its application and possibilities in investigating dynamic working zones in garment…

Porosity and air permeability of composite clean room textiles

Jiří Militký, Marie Havrdová

It is well‐known that clean room textiles are acting as a barrier protecting humans against the surrounding atmosphere or vice versa. These textiles are produced in the limited…

Study of the relationship between deformation of the thread and built‐in fibres

Andreja Rudolf, Jelka Geršak

Presents the study of the relationship between the deformation of the sewing thread and built‐in fibres as a consequence of a thread loading in the sewing process. The influence…

New shielding protective equipment for live working

Claudia Herzberg, Hartmut Rödel, Eberhard Engelmann

The new protective equipment forms a FARADAY cage, thus protecting the worker from unacceptably strong electrical fields as well as from being invaded by dangerous electric…
