Online Control of Knitted Fabric Quality: Loop Length Control

Circular knitting machine makes the fabric with more than two knitting tools. Variation of yarn tension between different knitting tools causes different loop length of stitches duration knitting process. In this research, a new intelligent method is applied to control loop length of stitches in various tools based on ideal shape of stitches and real angle of stitches direction while different ...

A Study on Ultraviolet Protection of 100% Cotton Knitted Fabric: Effect of Fabric Parameters

The effect of fabric parameters such as weight, thickness, and stitch density on the ultraviolet (UV) protection of knitted fabrics was studied. Different knitting structures such as plain, pineapple, lacoste, and other combinations of different knitting stitches of knit, tuck, and miss as well as half milano, full milano, half cardigan, full cardigan, 1 × 1 rib, and interlock were prepared. Ex...

Finding and Fabric Forming

Renewed interest and recently expanding research of ‘fabric forming’ as a means of producing concrete (or rammed earth) structures has established its benefits in physically manifesting complex curvatures, achieving good surface quality, ease of transport of form-work materials (Cauberg et al., 2009), producing sculptural forms of variable crosssection and buckling resistant forms (West and Ara...
