Review on the 3-D simulation for weft knitted fabric

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

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...

The Effect of Stretching on Ultraviolet Protection of Cotton and Cotton/Coolmax-Blended Weft Knitted Fabric in a Dry State

In this paper, the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of weft knitted fabrics made from 20Ne cotton yarn, Coolmax yarn and their blends in dry, relaxed and stretched states were studied. According to the fibre composition, samples were divided into three groups: Group I (single cotton yarn); Group II (cotton/cotton combination); and Group III (Coolmax/cotton combination) for discussion. In add...

Effect of Stretching on Ultraviolet Protection of Cotton and Cotton/Coolmax Blended Weft Knitted Fabric in a Wet State

In this paper, the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of plain knitted fabrics made from 20Ne cotton yarns, Coolmax yarn and their combinations in wet, relaxed and stretched states were studied. According to the fiber composition, fabric samples are divided into three groups including Group I (single cotton yarn), Group II (cotton/cotton combination) and Group III (Coolmax/cotton combination) ...

Investigation into the Curling Intensity of Polyester/Cotton Single Jersey Weft Knitted fabric Using Finite Element Method

Curling of knitted fabrics edges is one of the complicated problems of these structures. Therefore, study and measurement of curling in knitted fabrics is important. In this study, it is tried to model the three-dimensional wale wise curl of the fabric using finite element modelling. In this model the tensions in different parts of a knitted loop due to bending and torsional forces in knitting ...
