Geometrical Analysis of Warp Knit Auxetic Fabrics

Geometrical Modelling of 3d Textile Composite Application to Warp Interlock Carbon Fabrics

In order to better predict the composite material behaviour, mechanical engineers need safe software tools to model the textile structure and to integrate into simulating software by the use of finite element approach. Then, it’s necessary to have a clear description of the textile structure at each scale. The microscopic scale involves the filaments position and distribution to define the exte...

Exploration of Micromachines to Textiles: Monitoring Warp Tension and Breaks during the Formation of Woven Fabrics

GAHIDE, SEVERINE FRANCOISE. Exploration of Micromachines to Textiles: Monitoring Warp Tension and Breaks during the Formation of Woven Fabrics (Under the direction of Drs. George Hodge and Abdelfattah Seyam.) MicroElectroMechanical Systems, or MEMS, is an emerging high technology that has proven to be very successful in several industries such as medical, automotive and ink jet industries. The ...

Warp-Knitted Fabrics Simulation Using Cardinal Spline and Recursive Rotation Frame

To realize 3-D simulation of warp-knitted fabrics, this paper proposes a 3-D loop modeling method based on Cardinal spline and recursive rotation frame method. Fabric structure and loop geometry are studied to form a visible lapping detection model and loop geometrical key points obtained according to chain links and yarn arrangements. In this paper, eight points are set for stitched loop and t...
