Deep Drawing of Plain Weft-Knitted Fabric Composites Part 2.: Strain Field Analysis

Estimation on the 3D porosity of plain weft knitted fabric under wale extension

Loop Length of Plain Single Weft Knitted Structure with Elastane

For decades, scientists have been trying to define relationships among yarn parameters, knitted fabric parameters, and knitting parameters with loop models. Recently, the geometrical loop models have returned to focus as they assist finding the effective parameters which cause dimensional changes during relaxation. Furthermore, they help designing knitted structures for technical applications a...

Textile-Based Weft Knitted Strain Sensors: Effect of Fabric Parameters on Sensor Properties

The design and development of textile-based strain sensors has been a focus of research and many investigators have studied this subject. This paper presents a new textile-based strain sensor design and shows the effect of base fabric parameters on its sensing properties. Sensing fabric could be used to measure articulations of the human body in the real environment. The strain sensing fabric w...
