Advances in the CAD Simulation of Textile Yarns

چکیده
A project aimed at the 3D simulation of textile yarns from technical specifications was begun in 1993 and attracted support from both industry and research councils to enable the formation of a multi-national team of researchers to come together in the UK. Considerable progress has been made particularly in the simulation of knitting yarn and plain knit fabric. In recent times the team has tackled the problem of simulating mixture coloured yarns sometimes called melange. This has necessitated a more complicated model of yarn structure based on queuing theory which is outlined at the end of the paper. References are provided for readers who wish to learn more of the various theories and models that have been used throughout the course of this project.

Color and Weave Relationship in Woven Fabrics
In woven designs from colored threads, a colored pattern is a consequence of two possible arrangements where warp is over the weft or vice versa. Thus the primary elements of woven fabric design are combination of weaves and blending of colors using such weaves. Weave is the scheme or plan of interlacing the warp and weft yarns that produce the integrated fabric. Weave relates specially to the ...
متن کاملGeometrical 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...
متن کاملKnitting and weaving artificial muscles
A need exists for artificial muscles that are silent, soft, and compliant, with performance characteristics similar to those of skeletal muscle, enabling natural interaction of assistive devices with humans. By combining one of humankind's oldest technologies, textile processing, with electroactive polymers, we demonstrate here the feasibility of wearable, soft artificial muscles made by weavin...
متن کاملHomogenization and Numerical Simulation of Flow in Geometries with Textile Microstructures
The simulation of the Liquid Composite Moulding process is an important step for the manufacturing of composites with textile reinforcements. However, its fast direct numerical simulation is impossible on the microscale due to computational complexity reasons. We have to resort to the macroscale instead. Here, an essential task is the fast and accurate prediction of the permeability of textile ...
متن کاملInvestigation of Heating Behaviour of E-textile Structures
By textile science incorporating with electronic industry, developed textile products start to take part in different areas such as industry, military, space, medical etc. for health, protection, defense, communication and automation. Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are fabrics that contain electronics and interconnections with them. In this study, two types of base yarns (cotton and acrylic) ...
